This is the recipe as I found it. I think you could substitute regular sausage, mozzarella cheese, and green peppers if you would prefer. I added the homemade sauce option since we never buy sauce.
- 3 Medium sweet red peppers
- 2 Medium sweet yellow peppers
- 1 jar (14 oz) spaghetti sauce, divided (or homemade sauce)
- 3/4 pound uncooked Italian turkey sausage
- 3/4 cup uncooked instant rice
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta or blue cheese
- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 1/4 cup chopped tomato
- 1/4 cup minced fresh parsley
- 2 Tbs sliced ripe olives
- 1/4 to 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
Cut tops off peppers, chop tops and set aside. Discard stems and seeds; set pepper cups aside. Reserve 3/4 cup spaghetti sauce; pour remaining sauce into slow cooker. Combine sausage, rice, cheese, onion, tomato, parsley, olives, garlic powder, salt, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, reserved chopped peppers, and spaghetti sauce.
Spoon into pepper cups; place in slow cooker. Cover and cook on low for 4-5 hours or until peppers are tender. Yield: 5 servings
