Inside Out Stuffed Peppers
With last week’s vegetable being bell peppers, the first thought that comes to mind is stuffed peppers (even though I’ve never had them). But, after trying stuffed tomatoes a few weeks ago, I decided that I don’t like stuffing vegetables. They’re difficult to eat and it’s kind of a big effort. Granted, I might do it for company because they look so pretty on the plate.
This recipe is for inside out Stuffed Peppers. It’s basically everything you might see stuffed into a pepper, but it’s all just mixed in a big pan instead. This is much easier and makes this recipe great for a worknight. The flavor of this meal was really good.
Inside Out Stuffed Peppers (from Allrecipes.com)
2 cloves garlic
1 (19 ounce) package Italian Sausage, cut into 2-inch pieces
1 green pepper, sliced
1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
1/2 cup frozen corn – I used 1 cup2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
3 cups cooked rice
Salt and Pepper
In a nonstick skillet over medium heat, cook sausage, garlic, and peppers until sausage is browned.
Add tomato sauce, corn and Worcestershire sauce.
Bring to a boil, cover and reduce heat to low. Simmer 15 minutes or until sausage is fully cooked. Salt and pepper to taste. Serve over hot rice.

Thanks! I hope you enjoyed the pasta.
I made this tonight and it was truly one of the worse things I’ve made; the sauce was really chunky and dry, and stuck in my throat every time I took a bite, and the garlic made it even drier. I would not recommend this to anyone.
This is very good. Leaving some of the pasta water is important, as well as adding the olive oil. Grating the beet into the pasta made a gorgeous colored magenta. Eating pasta right away prevents drying out. An optional addition could be adding a can of coconut milk to make a pink saucy dish. Topped with nuts and cheese, yes!
