1 lbs. Italian sausage, casings removed

1 Cup marinara sauce

4 Bell Peppers red orange yellow or a combination

1 Cup shredded mozzarella cheese

16 slices pepperoni

Italian seasoning for sprinkling

1. In a medium size skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until browned in no longer pink, crumbling the meat with a large spoon as it cooks. Drain the fat if necessary. Stir in the marinara sauce and set aside.

2. Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper. 

3. Cut each pepper in half lengthwise and remove the seeds. Fill the pepper halves with the sausage mixture, then top each pepper half with two tablespoons of the mozzarella and two slices of pepperoni. Sprinkle each pepper half with Italian seasoning.

3.  Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until the Peppers are tender and the cheese is bubbly. Garnish with grated parmesan
