Ingredients
1lb Hot or Sweet Italian Sausage - (Link or Mix)
2 cups cooked rice (Sticky Rice Is The Best)
Condiments - To Your Liking. I use a tsp each on average.
Crushed Salt
Crushed Ground Pepper
Crushed Red Pepper
Garlic (Minced)
Italian Mix Bread Crumbs
3 eggs
6-9 Large Bell Peppers (Red Sweet Or Green)
Spaghetti Sauce (Store Bought or Homemade)
Grated Parmesan and Romano Cheese
In a bowl add the meat and bread crumbs with eggs first. Hand mix thoroughly. Add the condiments and remix. Next add the rice and remix one last time. We have a Vietnamese grocery store that sells sticky rice. You can use any rice, however I have found sticky rice to be the best. Remix one last time.
Next, cut the tops off the bell peppers. Try to ensure they are firm and fresh. Stuff the pepper with the leaving about a 1/4 of an inch for the sauce. Pack firm, and top with the sauce. Next, add grated cheese. Place in the crock pot layer with about a 1/4 inch of sauce. (you can use water to dilute the sauce.) Set the crock on high for 2hrs. Then cook on low for an hour. Check for tenderness. A good bell pepper will remain firm. Some may become loose from being at the market too long.
Remove and serve.
