Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a roasting pan (large enough to accommodate 8 pepper halves in a single layer) with cooking spray.
- Combine the ground sirloin, Italian sausage, brown rice, Italian seasonings, salt, pepper, garlic, Parmesan cheese, egg, and 1/2 cup Classico® Tomato & Basil sauce in a large bowl. Mix until combined.
- Divide meat mixture evenly among the green pepper halves; press to compress slightly. Arrange halves in prepared pan. Spoon the remaining Classico® Tomato & Basil sauce onto the tops of the meat and peppers. Cover tightly with foil.
- Bake until the peppers are soft and internal temperature of the meat reaches 165 degrees F, about 1 1/2 hours.
- Remove from oven. Remove foil and top each pepper with shredded cheese.
- Turn oven to broil. Place peppers, uncovered under the broiler. Broil until the cheese is melted and bubbly, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle with parsley.

SCRAMBLED PEPPERS AND EGGS
As in many Mark Bittman recipes, the idea here is more vegetables -- in this case, peppers -- than protein. It works because except for the jalapeño, none of the peppers is hot.

ITALIAN PEPPER AND EGG SANDWICH
Although, you can find this sandwich on the menu at many diners, my favorite place to get one of these is right in my own kitchen. Back in the day, when the Catholic religion had a "no meat on Fridays" rule, Mama often made these for Friday lunch (and, sometimes, supper) for my brothers and me. In Chicago, especially during the Lenten season, many of the Italian beef stands offered this sandwich as an alternative to meat on Fridays ( I think that this is possibly how this sandwich came about). Whatever the case, I love this sandwich (and, I don't wait til Friday) and it brings me back to a simpler time!!!!

Steps:
- In a frying pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and peppers. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the peppers are tender, about 15 minutes. Add the minced garlic during the last couple of minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the eggs, Parmesan cheese, salt, and ground pepper. Beat until well mixed. Add the egg mixture to the pepper mixture in the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until eggs are set, about 5 minutes.
- Serve in the hoagie rolls (or, on slices of Italian bread). And, if you like hot stuff, add a little hot (as in spicy hot) giardiniera to top it off.
ITALIAN PEPPERS AND EGG SANDWICHES
These sandwiches are so good. I made them for a romantic breakfast in bed situation with very nice results but they would be just as good for lunch or a light dinner. The eggs are tender and creamy, the peppers and onions are slightly sweet and match well with the saltiness of the meat. And who doesn't love ciabatta? Fresh fruit is a nice accompaniment.
