Directions

2.
Arrange the peppers in a 3-quart shallow baking dish. Spoon the sausage mixture into the peppers. Pour the sauce over the filled peppers. Cover the baking dish.
3.
Bake for 40 minutes or until the peppers are tender.

Serving Suggestion: Serve with garlic and cheese toast. For dessert serve tiramisu.
