This is a delightful change from traditional stuffed green peppers. Banana peppers and chili powder give a little kick. As a bonus, any leftovers reheat nicely in the microwave.

Ingredients

8 mild banana peppers
1 pound bulk pork sausage
1/2 cup cooked rice
1/3 cup thinly sliced green onions
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 can (8 ounces) tomato sauce
1 tablespoon water
1 teaspoon chili powder, optional
1/2 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese, optional

Directions

Remove pepper stems; cut peppers in half lengthwise. Carefully remove seeds and membranes; set aside. Combine the sausage, rice, onions, garlic, salt and pepper; stuff into pepper halves.

Place in a greased 13x9-in. baking dish. Combine tomato sauce, water and, if desired, chili powder; pour over peppers.
Cover and bake at 350° for 30 minutes or until filling is cooked and set. Sprinkle with cheese if desired; return to the oven for 5-10 minutes or until cheese is melted.
