Time 1h10m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 14

cooking spray (such as Pam®)
1 ½ pounds ground sirloin
½ pound bulk pork sausage
6 Roma tomatoes, chopped, divided
1 small white onion, finely diced
1 tablespoon butter
2 teaspoons crushed garlic
1 teaspoon dried oregano, or to taste
½ teaspoon fennel seed, or to taste
seasoned pepper to taste
4 large green bell peppers, tops and seeds removed
6 ounces crumbled feta cheese
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Steps:

  • Coat a casserole dish with cooking spray.
  • Cook ground sirloin and sausage in a skillet over medium-low heat until browned and crumbly, stirring often, 5 to 10 minutes. Drain thoroughly. Mix in 3/4 the tomatoes, onion, butter, garlic, oregano, fennel seed, and seasoned pepper. Simmer over low heat until meat mixture comes together, about 20 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Fill bell peppers with meat mixture, alternating with layers of feta cheese and Parmesan cheese. Place stuffed bell peppers side-by-side in the prepared casserole dish; add remaining tomatoes around and under the peppers so they cook up and into the peppers. Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until browned and bubbly, about 30 minutes.

Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 bell peppers, any color (seeded and halved)
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
3 cloves garlic (minced)
1 cup diced onion
salt and pepper (to taste)
1 teaspoon oregano
8 ounces ground Italian sausage
30 slices Hormel original pepperoni
32 ounces marinara sauce (or pasta sauce of choice)
16 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese
30 slices Hormel cup n' crisp pepperoni
1/4 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano (optional garnish)

Steps:

  • Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees. Place halved peppers in a single layer in a baking dish and set aside.
  • In a deep skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add onion, garlic, oregano and a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook until onions are tender, about 7-9 minutes, stirring regularly. Add sausage to the pan and use a wooden spoon or potato masher to break down into bite-sizes pieces. Saute sausage until golden brown. Add original pepperoni slices to the pan and heat for 30 seconds before stirring in the marinara sauce. Bring to a boil then reduce to simmer. Simmer for 10 minutes. Check for seasoning and add salt and pepper to taste.
  • Fill each pepper half with 1/2 cup or so of the sausage and pepperoni filling. Don't be afraid to fill the peppers to the brim - it's ok if the mixture spills out a bit. Top each pepper half with shredded mozzarella cheese and Hormel cup n' crisp pepperoni slices. Bake until peppers are tender and pepperoni is perfectly crisp, about 45 minutes. Garnish with parmesan cheese before serving if you wish.
