Leslie's Italian Stuffed Peppers

Threw this together as an experiment & it turned out pretty yummy!!  Hope you like!

Ingredients:
1# ground Italian sausage
2-3 bell peppers
1/2 onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 C chopped cabbage
1 can diced tomatoes, drained
Small can tomato sauce
1 T Butter
Mozzarella cheese, shredded

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

1. Start sausage browing in a skillet over medium heat & crumble as it cooks.
2. Meanwhile, cut bell pepper in half lengthwise & remove seeds. Place in a baking dish.
3. When sausage is cooked, set aside in a collander to drain well.
4. In the skillet, melt 1 T butter & saute onion, garlic & cabbage.  Add tomatoes & sauce, simmer to break down tomato chunks.  Season with an Italian blend if desired.
5. Return sausage to skillet & mix everything together.  
6. Spoon some into bell pepper halves, layer with shredded mozzarella cheese.  Stuff as much as you can in there & top with cheese.
7. Bake for about 30 minutes, until cheese is bubbly & browned on top.  Enjoy!  :)

Note:  I made about half this much for 2 pepper halves & had a little filling leftover.
