Instructions

To prepare the Stuffed Peppers start by combining the ground meat, crumbled sausage, breadcrumbs, cheese, parsley, egg yolk, whole egg, and garlic in a bowl and mix everything well. Once a good mixture is created, adjust salt and pepper to taste. If the mixture is too firm and dry you can add a few tablespoons of vegetable broth to soften it.
Wash the peppers, dry them well and cut them either on top or lengthwise so that you get a “bowl”. Clean them well inside and fill them with the mixture. Arrange the stuffed peppers close together in a nonstick baking dish greased with oil and bake at 180°C for about 60 minutes. Toward the end of cooking lay the sliced cheese on the peppers. Let the cheese melt and then serve the Stuffed Peppers!

Alternatives

If you want, you can make Vegetarian Stuffed Peppers by simply filling them with Rice such as Saffron Rice or Cheese Rice!

Storage

The Stuffed Peppers should be eaten right when baked, but if they really have to be left over you can keep them in the refrigerator for in a day, obviously sealed in an airtight container. When enjoying them again I recommend reheating them in the oven.
