Ingredients
- 3 bell peppers washed
- 1 ½ cup water
- 1 cup rice
- 1 8 oz jar picante sauce
- ½ lbs ground sausage
- ½ onion chopped
- 2 tablespoon garlic
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese
- 7 oz creamed corn
- ¼ cup cilantro
- 2 dashes lime juice
- cheese for topping
Instructions
- Dump water into a medium sized pot and bring to a boil. Add rice once boiling. After about 8-10 minutes when there is little water left, add in entire salsa jar.
- While rice is cooking, fry sausage in a medium sized skillet. Add garlic and onions. Once well cooked, remove from pan and place on a plate with a paper towel to absorb oil.
- In same pan sausage was in, place creamed corn and mozzarella cheese over medium heat until melted.
- Cut pepper tops off, and in half vertical and scoop out seeds and membranes. Broil peppers on a sprayed baking sheet for about 6 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through. I put my broil at 490 degrees and the rack was at the 2nd to highest notch. Make sure to watch the peppers closely while broiling because every oven broils differently.
- Remove peppers from oven. Scoop the cheese/corn mixture into the peppers first, then rice, and then the sausage mixture. Bake for 30 mins at 375 degrees. Add cheese, and throw back in the oven until melted (about 2 minutes). Serve your Sausage Stuffed Peppers with salsa and sour cream!
