Thursday!!! (Stuffed Pepper Casserole)

So today wasn't to bad..   Got to spend the majority of the day in Jewelry and Accessories and it looks so much better..  even got the wallets zoned and some of the belts..  they need a little bit more love then they will be good.. Maybe Saturday morning when I first go in..  I close tomorrow night,  fun times..  so I get to sleep in the morning..  go me..  lol..  I will probably wake up at 5am and be wide awake.. if I do,  you will hear me screaming at the very top of my lungs..  :)
I was very productive yesterday while cooking dinner and did a lot of prep for the next 6 days..  I completely made dinner for tonight..  I will be sharing that recipe.. it smells divine,  just pulled it out of the oven and sprinkled some Mozzarella cheese on the top..
Here is what is for dinner tonight..

Stuffed Pepper Casserole

Olive oil
1 onion, chopped
3 bell peppers, chopped
3 to 4 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 lb Italian Sausage,  I used turkey,  and I always buy the hot(casings removed)
2 c minute rice,  uncooked
1 big can or jar of prepared Spaghetti sauce
8 oz mozzarella cheese, shredded

In a large pan heat olive oil,  add the onions and bell peppers and cook for 5 to 8 minutes,  add the garlic and cook another minute,  add the Italian Sausage,  break it up with a fork and cook until it is done about 5 to 10 minutes..  add the minute rice and stir well,  cook for about 3 to 5 minutes,  stirring constantly,  toasting the rice..  add the spaghetti sauce and stir well..  rinse can with about 1/4 c water and add to the pan..  add 4 oz of the shredded cheese,  stir well and pour into a 9x13 dish and bake in a 350 oven for 30 to 45 minutes..   remove from oven and sprinkle with remaining cheese.. serve with crusty bread and a green vegetable or salad..    This can be made up to the point of placing in the baking dish and then covering and refrigerating or freezing until ready to cook..  if refrigerated just take out of the fridge and place in a cold oven then turn to 350 degrees and cook for 45 minutes..  if frozen take out of freezer and allow to thaw in the fridge overnight.. then bake..
