Stuffed Bells

I am weird in that I like to watch people eat food I have prepared. That is the best kind of feedback you can get, those first facial expressions, words/noises, and compliments are the most sincere and I love them. The last two weeks we had a few guys staying with us that were working with my husband, I tried a couple new recipes on them and they really liked them (I saw their faces!)! So, these recipes were deemed share-able ;) This is a very pizza/Italian flavored dish and it has SO MUCH FLAVOR!!! Enjoy!!




1T coconut oil
1/2 red onion chopped finely
2 garlic cloves, smashed
1lb Italian sausage or country sausage (make sure it is compliant!)
3-4 bell peppers
4 mushrooms, chopped
10 black olives
1/2 cup tomato sauce
1/4 cup tomato paste
1 tsp red pepper flake
1/2 tsp dried thyme
1/2 tsp dried oregano

Heat oven to 375F
Heat oil in pan over medium heat, add onions and cook until soft.
Add garlic, and cook for 1 minute.
add Italian sausage, red pepper, and mushrooms and cook until browned, around 10 minutes.
Drain meat mixture and add to bowl along with remaining ingredients. Mix well.
Divide the filling evenly between the bell peppers and fill them. Place peppers standing up in glass pan. Bake 30-45 minutes until peppers are soft, and filling is heated through.

Tip: If making for a large crowd skip the stuffed peppers and instead dice up a green bell pepper and saute it in with the onions, finish the recipe as stated above (skipping the stuff the peppers step, obviously), pour into a glass baking dish, or cupcake liners for a single serving, and bake 15minutes until heated thoroughly!
