Print Recipe

Ingredients
  

  • 1 dozen peppers assorted sizes and kinds
  • 6 fresh tomatoes medium size, approx
  • 1 lb ground pork
  • 1/4 cup dried oregano
  • 2 tbsp parsley fresh or jar
  • 1 tbsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tbsp fresh ground pepper
  • 25 oz marinara sauce fresh or jarred (standard jar size)
  • 1/2 cup shredded parmesan

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Cut the top off of your peppers and cut a slit down one side, almost all the way down. Wash out and remove seeds.
  • Squeeze your fresh tomatoes into a mixing bowl. Peel and all. Add your spices including: oregano, parsley, paprika and pepper.
  • Dice a small pepper or two (that you aren't stuffing) and add to the stove with just a bit of oil. Heat for a minute before adding your ground pork. Cook through.
  • Add your tomatoes and seasonings from your bowl to your cooked pork and stir together until heated through.
  • Stuff your peppers and place them in a baking dish. You can squeeze them up next to each other.
  • Top with your marinara sauce. Spread evenly and cover as much of the peppers as you can. Sprinkle the top with fresh, shredded parmesan cheese.
  • Bake in the oven for about 35 minutes. Enjoy!
