Is it a meatball with a surprise? A stuffed bell pepper without the unwanted slimy texture? It’s both!
Ingredients
—1 pint mini-sweet peppers
—8 ounces ground beef
—8 ounces Beer & Bratwurst Sausage, removed from casing
—1/2 cup breadcrumbs
—1/2 cup grated Parmesan
—1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
—2 teaspoons Morton’s Nature’s Seasoning
—2 teaspoons onion powder
—1/4 cup milk
—Mozzarella cheese, cut into hunks or those little balls
Directions
Put meat, Parmesan, seasonings, breadcrumbs and milk into a bowl. Mix by hand.
Remove tops and seeds from peppers, but leave otherwise in-tact. Put one bit of Mozzarella cheese into each pepper. Grab a handful of the meat mixture, wrap it around the pepper to completely cover, like a meatball.
Lay in a deep casserole dish, not touching (because they would stick) and bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes or until the meat is done through.
Suggested Side Dish
Jasmine or Basamati Rice, or Mashed Potatoes.
