There are some things I hear people talking about having for dinner. And I think, you can make those? Well, stuffed peppers was one of those things for me. Wanting to try them for a while, I googled WAY too many recipes which hurt my brain and then I decided to hit the kitchen and came up with these.
Let me know if you make them, would love to hear how they were!

Fantastic. Actually pretty quick to make, on the table in less than an hour.
Recipe:
4 peppers (I bought a mixed bag, had 2 red, 1 yellow and 1 green)
1/2 cup diced carrots
1/2 medium onion, diced
The tops of the 4 peppers, diced
3/4 cup instant rice
1 medium can diced tomatoes
3 Italian sausages
1 tsp steak spice
1/4 tsp salt
About 3/4 cup shredded cheese
(as a side note, this made enough stuffing for 5 peppers, the left over stuffing was baked in a small dish)

- Cut the top off of the 4 peppers, clean out the innards, and place into a dish that will hold them all tightly.
- Into a frying pan, squeeze out the sausage from the casing, and saute with the onions, diced peppers and carrots until well cooked (I didnt add garlic, and after eating them I might add a clove or two next time).
- Add the can of tomatoes, rice and spices and mix to combine all ingredients.
- Scoop into the peppers, press well and fill to the top.
- Cover in tinfoil, bake at 350 for 35 minutes.
- Remove foil, top with cheese and broil for a few min until cheese is bubbly and crispy
Let me know if you make them, would love to hear how they were!
