Italian Pizza Stuffed Peppers Style

These Italian Stuffed Peppers feature your favorite pizza-inspired flavors! Plus, they’ve got zesty sauce and a double-hit of melty mozzarella.

We pump up the Italian flavors by swapping out some of the “typical” plain ground beef for sweet Italian turkey sausage. Mmmmmm … better already!

- ground beef - Italian turkey sausage - green pepper - pizza sauce - turkey pepperoni - mozzarella cheese

Cook beef, sausage, and chopped onions and green peppers in a large skillet over medium heat until cooked through.
