Stuffed Peppers

My parents were not adventuresome with their cooking, but I do remember the occasional feast of stuffed peppers. As has been my habit, I wanted to take that memory and create a version of the recipe with my twists on a classic.

Big Guy suggested we start by upping the meat to include ground sirloin and pork sausage. The butcher even cheered this suggestion on knowing the fat to meat ratio would be perfect. We sauteed onions from @carondeletgarden to add additional flavor to the meat. We added in marinara sauce from @carondeletkitchen along with cheese and rice to the cooked meat mixture.

We stuffed this mix into yellow and red peppers to add sweetness to the flavor profile. After baking the peppers for forty-five minutes, we pulled the perfect stuffed peppers out of the oven!
