Ingredients

5 links sweet Italian chicken sausage raw; brand used: Premio
1 onion
olive oil spray
28 oz diced tomatoes in juice
1/4 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1 cup fat free mozzarella
2 tbsp grated pecorino Romano
1/4 cup basil fresh
30 oz mini bell peppers about 36-40 peppers

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400F.
Chop the onion. Remove the chicken sausage from the casings.
Add the onion and chicken sausage to a frying pan over medium high heat with olive oil spray. Cook the onion and sausage until the sausage is thoroughly cooked and the onion is tender and slightly caramelized, about 10-15 minutes.
Add in the diced tomatoes with juice, kosher salt, oregano, and garlic powder and simmer for about 20 minutes or until the liquid is mostly absorbed.
Chop the basil and add it into the pan, along with the mozzarella and pecorino. Stir to combine then set aside.
Cut the tops off the peppers and scoop the seeds out.
Add filling to the inside of the peppers and arrange them in a baking dish sprayed with more olive oil spray.
Spray the tops of the peppers again with olive oil and roast at 400F for about 30-40 minutes or until golden brown and tender.
Serve alone, or with marinara sauce for dipping.
