Recipe Directions
-
Preheat oven to 350°F.

Cook a mixture of brown and wild rice according to package instructions. It is ok if rice is a little chewy as it will cook more while baking.
-
While the rice is cooking, Saute the plant-based protein sausage and burger until brown and crumbly. 8 - 10 minutes.

Add the onions and saute until onions are translucent. 3- 5 minutes.
-

-
Add the optional cheese and mix in. If you are vegan, skip the cheese or use vegan cheese.
-
Prepare the peppers for stuffing by cutting off their tops and removing the membranes and seeds. Place them upright in a greased baking dish.
-
Stuff each pepper with ¼ of the mixture.
-
Cover with a large plate and microwave for 15 minutes, uncover and add an additional optional 2 tbsp of cheese on top and bake in the oven for 10 - 15 minutes more or until peppers are tender.
