Grilled Stuffed Peppers
TOTAL TIME: Prep: 30 min. Grill: 30 min.

After hearing the recipe described at a local Italian restaurant, I decided to try to make these peppers at home. Everyone enjoyed the pretty green “shells” brimming with a hearty filling.
Ingredients
-
3 large green peppers
-
1 large tomato, peeled, seeded and chopped
-
1 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
-
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
-
2 tablespoons minced fresh basil
-
2 teaspoons dried oregano

1-1/2 pounds bulk Italian sausage
-
Additional shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
Directions

1.
Cut peppers in half lengthwise; remove stems and seeds. Set aside. In a large bowl, combine the tomato, cheeses, basil and oregano. Crumble sausage over mixture and mix well. Spoon into pepper halves.

2.
Prepare grill for indirect heat, using a drip pan. Place peppers over drip pan. Grill, covered, over indirect medium heat for 30-35 minutes or until sausage is no longer pink and peppers are tender. Sprinkle with additional cheese.
