Smoked Sausage and Orzo Stuffed Peppers

Smoked Sausage and Orzo Stuffed Peppers
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 (14 ounce) package Hillshire Farm® Smoked Sausage, cut into 1/4-inch-wide half moons
  • 1 medium onion, 1/2-inch dice
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
  • 2 cups orzo pasta, cooked according to package directions
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 3/4 cups marinara sauce
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 6 bell peppers


  1. Heat oven to 400 degrees F.
  2. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add smoked sausage, onion, garlic and Italian seasoning and cook for 6-9 minutes, stirring occasionally, until onions are soft and smoked sausage is brown. Stir in white wine vinegar, cooked orzo, salt, pepper and 1/4 cup mozzarella; remove from heat and set aside.
  3. Mix together the marinara sauce and cinnamon and stir 1/4 cup of the sauce into the skillet. Spoon remaining sauce into the bottom of a 9x9-inch baking dish.
  4. Cut the tops off of the peppers, remove the seeds, stuff them with the orzo-smoked sausage mixture and place in baking dish. Sprinkle with remaining mozzarella cheese and bake until heated through, 25 minutes.
