Stuffed Peppers

I have been wanting to tackle stuffed peppers for a while now. This meal turned out to be a very easy, light, and delicious weeknight meal!



Stuffed Bell Peppers

• 4 bell peppers in the color of your choice
• 1 cup orzo
• 2 cups chicken or vegetable broth, divided
• 3 links of chicken sausage (I used sundried tomato)
• 1 T olive oil
• 2 T chopped fresh parsley
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/4 cup grated mozzarella

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Bring 1 cup of broth to a boil. Add orzo and cook for 2 minutes less than package instructions. Drain any remaining broth.

Saute sausage in oil over medium-high heat for 5 minutes, until lightly browned.

Combine orzo, sausage, parsley, and Parmesan.

Cut tops off of peppers and hollow out to create a bowl. Place in a baking dish and pour remaining broth around peppers.

Fill peppers with orzo mixture and divide mozzarella to top each stuffed pepper.

Bake for 10-12 minutes, until cheese is melted.
