Time 1h45m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 large green bell peppers, cut in half lengthwise, seeds removed
1 pound ground beef sirloin
4 ounces ground Italian sausage
1 cup cooked brown rice
1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
½ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 clove garlic, minced
¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1 (24 ounce) jar Classico® Tomato and Basil Pasta Sauce, divided
2 cups shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
Fresh chopped parsley

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



Scrambled Peppers and Eggs image

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



Italian Pepper and Egg Sandwich image

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!!!!

2 green bell peppers, cut into strips (or 2 red bell peppers, or one of each)
2 garlic cloves, minced
4 large eggs
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese (or grated Romano cheese)
salt & fresh ground pepper, to taste

jarred hot giardiniera (optional, usually found in the pickle aisle of your supermarket or Italian delicatessens)

Steps:

  • 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



Italian Peppers and Egg Sandwiches image

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.
