Stuffed Green Peppers Recipe with Brown Rice, Italian Sausage, and Parmesan (Gluten-Free, Can Freeze)
I planned to make a meatless stuffed pepper but then I found two links of turkey Italian sausage in the fridge.
I couldn’t resist adding that to the mix, but you could easily make this vegetarian by substituting sauteed mushrooms for the sausage.
I enjoyed a couple of these flavorful stuffed peppers with my mom who gave them a very enthusiastic thumbs up!
