Pizza in a Pepper
 
 
Peppers stuffed with pizza inspired filling
Ingredients
  • 3 - 6 bell peppers
  • 2 tbsp. minced garlic
  • 1 pound lean ground beef or turkey
  • 1 jar Ragu Homestyle
  • 1 - 1½ cups of your favorite pizza toppings
  • 2 cups Italian Blend Cheese
Instructions
  1. Bring a pot of water to a rapid boil. Cut the tops off of the peppers and remove the seeds and excess flesh from the inside. Boil the peppers for 5 minutes and immediately place them in ice cold water. Let them chill for about 10 minutes then remove them, set them aside and allow them to dry.
  2. Cut strips from the removed pepper tops and saute them with the garlic until they're tender.
  3. Add your meat to the pan and cook thoroughly. Drain any fat from the pan and add the sauce.
  4. Allow the mixture to simmer for 15 minutes. Preheat the oven to 300F. Add pizza toppings to the heated mixture and simmer for 3 - 5 minutes, stirring often.
  5. Fill the peppers with the mixture and top with cheese. Bake for 10 minutes or until the cheese begins to bubble.
