  • 1/4 (1-pound) package Jimmy Dean Premium Pork Sausage

  • 1cuppre-cooked white rice
  • 2tablespoonschopped fresh parsley

  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 1poundmini bell peppers, halved lengthwise and seeded

  • Directions

    Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

    In a small frying pan, heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat for about 30 seconds. Add Jimmy Dean sausage and cook for 8 to 10 minutes until browned, stirring frequently to break up the sausage into small pieces, then drain. Remove the sausage and set aside.

    To the same pan, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil and reduce heat to medium. Add diced mushrooms and saute for about 5 minutes, until mushrooms are softened and brown.

    In a bowl, mix the sausage and mushrooms with the rice and parsley, and 1/2 cup of the mozzarella. Season to taste, and fill each bell pepper halfway with the mixture.

    Top each pepper with additional cheese, and bake for 10 to 15 minutes.

    Carefully remove the peppers from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving.



    Cook's Note:

    Use the leftover Jimmy Dean Sausage to make sausage patties or crumbles to serve with eggs.
