Ingredients

• ¾ cup ricotta cheese
• aluminum foil
• 6 bell peppers
• parchment paper
• 2 cups prepared meat and tomato sauce
• 5 ounces freshly grated mozzarella cheese

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking dish with parchment paper.

Step 2

Cut the tops off of the peppers and carefully remove the seeds and ribs.

Step 3

Spoon 2 tablespoons meat and tomato sauce into the bottom of each pepper. Top with 1 tablespoon ricotta cheese and 2 tablespoons mozzarella cheese. Layer the remaining sauce between the peppers, then the remaining ricotta, and mozzarella. Place peppers into the prepared baking dish and tent with aluminum foil, making sure the foil is not touching any of the peppers.

Step 4

Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake until cheese has melted and is slightly browned, about 20 minutes.
