Servings: persons

4 large green bell peppers, cut in half lengthwise, seeds removed
1 pound ground beef sirloin
4 ounces ground Italian sausage
1 cup cooked brown rice
1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 clove garlic, minced
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1 (24 ounce) jar Classico(R) Tomato and Basil Pasta Sauce, divided
2 cups shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
Fresh chopped parsley

1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a roasting pan (large enough to accommodate 8 pepper halves in a single layer) with cooking spray.
2
Combine the ground sirloin, Italian sausage, brown rice, Italian seasonings, salt, pepper, garlic, Parmesan cheese, egg, and 1/2 cup Classico(R) Tomato & Basil sauce in a large bowl. Mix until combined.
3
Divide meat mixture evenly among the green pepper halves; press to compress slightly. Arrange halves in prepared pan. Spoon the remaining Classico(R) Tomato & Basil sauce onto the tops of the meat and peppers. Cover tightly with foil.
4
Bake until the peppers are soft and internal temperature of the meat reaches 165 degrees F, about 1 1/2 hours.
5
Remove from oven. Remove foil and top each pepper with shredded cheese.
6
Turn oven to broil. Place peppers, uncovered under the broiler. Broil until the cheese is melted and bubbly, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle with parsley.
