This is an easy recipe using a Zatarain's rice mix and some Italian sausage.

Ingredients

1/2 lb hot Italian sausage, removed from casing
2 1/4 cups water
1 tablespoon olive oil (or vegetable oil)
1 (8 ounce) box zatarain's black bean and rice mix
3 large bell peppers
1 (8 ounce) package grated colby-monterey jack cheese

1
In a large saucepan, brown the sausage and drain the fat.
2
Add the water, olive oil, and Zatarain's Black Beans & Rice mix to sausage. Bring to a boil and stir.

Great Recipe!! I used bulk hot sausage and red and orange bell peppers. I did substitute the black bean and rice for the Jambalaya with cheese mix from Zatarains. I served this at a dinner party and it was a hit.. Thanks

A good recipe for stuffed peppers. Easy to prepare too. I used a mild Italian sausage and added more flavor with using Seasoning for Ground Pork (Italian-Style Sausage) Also I used 3 yellow bell peppers and 1 green bell pepper and still had more stuffing lefted over. I also added Monterey Jack Cheese along with what recipe calls for. We love lots of cheese! Thanks for sharing the recipe!
