Equipment
- Skillet
- 9x13 inch Baking Dish
- Aluminum Foil
- Large mixing bowl
Ingredients
- 3 colorful bell peppers (red, yellow, and orange)
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 12 ounces lean ground Italian sausage
- 0.75 cup low-carb marinara sauce
- 0.33 cup diced pepperoni reserve a small amount for topping
- 0.25 cup chopped Kalamata olives
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a skillet, brown the lean ground Italian sausage until it's cooked through. Drain any excess fat, then set it aside to cool slightly.
- Slice each bell pepper in half lengthwise and gently scoop out the seeds and white ribs. Arrange these pepper halves snugly in a 9x13-inch baking dish (a quick spray with nonstick cooking spray helps prevent sticking!).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled sausage, marinara sauce, most of the diced pepperoni, half of the mozzarella cheese, and the chopped Kalamata olives. Give everything a good stir until it's all nicely mixed.
- Generously spoon this savory pizza filling into each bell pepper half, making sure they're packed full of flavor.
- Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 15 minutes.
- Carefully remove the foil. Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese and the rest of your diced pepperoni over the top of each stuffed pepper.
- Pop it back into the oven, uncovered, for another 15 minutes, or until the cheese is beautifully melted, bubbly, and golden brown.
