About this Recipe

This delightful kid-friendly recipe is a new take on stuffed peppers that's easy to make and even easier to devour. The halved pepper "boats" make great little portions and allows for the perfect beef to cheese ratio.

But what truly sets this dish apart is the secret ingredient: our flavorful Italian Sausage Mix. It completely transforms the ground beef, infusing it with tantalizing hints of sausage and the vibrant herbs of traditional Italian cuisine.

Garnished with gooey Monterey Jack cheese, these colorful red pepper boats offer a yummy way to get your allotment of veggies and makes a beautiful meal when paired with a side or rice or salad.
