All the magic of this Stuffed Pepper Casserole happens in just one pan … you don’t even have to pre-cook the quinoa!

- chicken broth - tomatoes - quinoa - bell peppers - basil - sausage

INGREDIENTS:

Preheat oven to 400°F. In an ungreased 9x13" baking pan, combine broth, tomatoes with their juice, uncooked quinoa, dried basil, oregano, garlic powder, and salt.

1

Top each pepper section with a thin layer of the uncooked sausage, pressing a bit of sausage all along each piece of pepper. Lay each sausage-topped pepper in the baking dish.

2

Cover tightly with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove foil and continue baking, uncovered, until quinoa is cooked through, peppers are done to your liking.

3

Serve immediately, garnished with a bit of minced basil for a pretty presentation, if desired.

4

If your quinoa is not pre-rinsed, then before you add it to the casserole, you will need to rinse it in a sieve, swishing it with your fingers until the water runs clear.
