Ingredients

Copy Ingredients
1/4 pound Italian sausage, about 1 link
1 pound ground beef, or Italian sausage
1/2 cup onion, very finely chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 (14.5 ounce) can Tuttorosso® Diced Tomatoes Basil, Garlic & Oregano
1/4 teaspoon fennel seeds
1 teaspoon salt, divided
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, divided
1/4 teaspoon red chili flakes
1 egg
1/2 cup ricotta cheese, whole milk variety
4 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, grated, divided
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 teaspoon dried parsley, flakes
4 bell peppers, colors of your choice
2 tablespoons Italian bread crumbs
1 tablespoon butter, melted
1/4 teaspoon granulated garlic

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350º F

Meat Sauce:

  • Remove Italian sausage from casing. Combine with ground beef in skillet.  Cook over medium-high heat, breaking meat apart with a spoon. Cook until no longer pink.  Drain off excess fat and return to skillet.  Add onion and garlic to skillet and cook over medium heat for 3-4 minutes, until onions are tender.  Using a blender, blend the Tuttorosso® Diced Tomatoes to a course puree.  Add the puree, fennel seeds, 3/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper and crushed red pepper flakes to the skillet.  Reduce heat to low and simmer gently for about 10 minutes.  Remove from heat and reserve.

Cheese Filling:

  • Combine egg, ricotta, 2 tablespoons parmesan and shredded mozzarella cheese, dry parsley flakes, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a bowl until combined. Reserve.
  • Remove the tops of 4 equally sized bell peppers, remove seeds and ribs from inside. 
  • Spray the bottom of an 8x8 pan with non-stick spray.  Place peppers in the pan. Starting with the meat sauce, place 1/4 cup in the bottom of each pepper and spread evenly.  Divide cheese filling into 4 equal portions and spoon on top of the meat sauce layer.  Add another 1/4 cup (or more) of the meat sauce to fill each pepper cup.
  • In a separate bowl, combine the bread crumbs, salt, melted butter, 2 tablespoons parmesan cheese and granulated garlic.  Divide and sprinkle evenly over the top of each pepper.
  • Add 1/4 cup of water to the baking dish and cover loosely with foil.  Bake for 45 minutes.  Remove from oven, remove foil and bake an additional 10-15 minutes until bread crumbs are brown.
