Thanksgiving Stuffing Peppers

• 6 whole Green Bell Peppers For Stuffing
• 1 pound Jimmy Dean Hot Ground Sausage
• 1- 1/2 pound Ground Beef
• 1 teaspoon Each Thyme, Parsley, Salt, And Pepper
• 1 dash Worcestershire Sauce
• 1 whole Bay Leaf
• 3 whole Medium Yellow Onions, Chopped
• 2 stalks Large, Celery, Chopped
• 1/2 whole Green Bell Pepper, Chopped
• 2 whole Eggs, Beaten
• 1 bag (about 12 Oz. Size) Pepperridge Farm Herbed Stuffing Mix
• Breadcrumbs, For Topping
• Butter, For Topping

1. Take the whole green bell peppers (for stuffing) and slice in half.
2. I like to do this from top to bottom, or you could remove the tops (depending on how you want to stuff them) and clean out the seeds and other junk.
3. Simmer peppers in water for about 3 minutes, just to soften them some.
4. You dont want them going limp before stuffing (because they will be cooked more later.)
5. Drain on paper towels and set aside.
6. Brown the sausage and ground beef with the seasonings (including the bay leaf) in a large skillet.
7. Then add in onions, celery and the chopped green bell peppers (not the ones for stuffing).
8. Cook for a few minutes, until tender, then drain out the fat in a paper towel-lined colander.
9. Remove the bay leaf.
10. Beat the eggs and add to the dry stuffing mix; once combined, stir into the meat mixture.
11. At this point you can either freeze all the stuffing mixture for later use (in small portions so you can stuff a few peppers at a time) or stuff the peppers you simmered earlier, place on a cookie sheet in the freezer for several hours, then place all in a freezer ziplock bag.
12. (Or stuff them and bake immediately!)
13. Once you are ready to enjoy these babies (make sure theyre thawed, if frozen), top with a sprinkling of breadcrumbs and a pat of butter.
14. Bake at 375 degrees F for 2530 minutes.
