Recipe Italian Style Meatloaf Pepper Rings

Ingredients :

• 2 red bell peppers
• 2 green bell peppers
• 1 small onion, chopped
• 1 lb. ground beef
• 1 egg
• 1/2 cup Italian style bread crumbs
• 1 Tbsp. dried parsley
• 1 tsp. garlic powder
• 2 tsp. Italian seasoning
• 1/2 tsp pepper
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 2 Tbsp. Grated parmesan cheese
• 1 jar your favorite spaghetti sauce (I used Prego - Three Cheese)
• 1-1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

Method :

1. Slice the tops and bottoms of the peppers off and set aside. Cut the remaining section of pepper into two rings. You will have 8 total rings. Place on a greased baking sheet. (I accidentally cut through the side of one, if this happens, just toothpick it secure).
2. Mix ground beef, bread crumbs, egg, seasonings, parmesan cheese, onion and 2 Tbsp. of the spaghetti sauce. Dice the tops and bottoms of peppers you had set aside and add to the mix.
3. Spoon the meat mixture into the pepper rings. Place in preheated 375 degree oven and bake for 40 minutes.
4. Remove from oven and top each pepper ring with about 2 Tbsp each spaghetti sauce. (You will have some left over, save for another use). Top with mozzarella cheese to preference. We really like cheese :)
5. Place back in oven and cook an additional 15 minutes or until cheese is melted and bubbly. Enjoy!!
