Recipe Instructions

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Step 2
In a small frying pan, heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat for about 30 seconds. Add Jimmy Dean sausage and cook for 8 to 10 minutes until browned, stirring frequently to break up the sausage into small pieces, then drain. Remove the sausage and set aside.
Step 3
To the same pan, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil and reduce heat to medium. Add diced mushrooms and saute for about 5 minutes, until mushrooms are softened and brown.
Step 4
In a bowl, mix the sausage and mushrooms with the rice and parsley, and 1/2 cup of the mozzarella. Season to taste, and fill each bell pepper halfway with the mixture.
Step 5
Top each pepper with additional cheese, and bake for 10 to 15 minutes.
Step 6
Carefully remove the peppers from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
