Make-Ahead Freezer Sausage-Stuffed Mini Peppers

By charlotteh371

Ingredients

• 16oz mini sweet peppers
• 1 pound ground Italian sausage (we like hot)
• 24oz jar of spaghetti sauce
• 8oz mozzarella cheese, shredded

Preparation

Step 1

Directions
Cut tops off peppers and remove seeds. (It’s OK if you don’t get every single seed out.)
Stuff the peppers with sausage and place in a 9×13″ casserole dish.
Cover stuffed peppers with spaghetti sauce.
Top with shredded mozzarella cheese.
Bake for 40 minutes at 350 degrees F or until cheese is brown and sausage is cooked through.
To Freeze
Complete Steps 1-4. Cover dish with layers of plastic wrap and foil and freeze for up to three months. When ready to eat, thaw overnight in refrigerator and then bake for 40 minutes at 350 degrees F. (You can also skip thawing and bake frozen for 60-90 minutes.)
