Stuffed Peppers, Italian Style

So, peppers were on sale this week, 3/$2. Sounded like a good excuse to make stuffed peppers to me. :-) I called my mom, and got her "recipe". And then altered it a bit.

Stuffed Peppers

24 oz Italian Sausage, browned
1 onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 eggplant, diced (leftover from veggie korma)
2 tbs olive oil
1 jar spaghetti sauce
2 cups cooked brown rice
6-8 peppers, halved and hollowed.

Sautee the onion, garlic and eggplant in the Olive Oil until softened. Mix in the Italian sausage, rice, and 3/4 of the spaghetti sauce. Add more if needed to make a moist, but not runny filling. Spoon into the pepper shells. Place in a couple baking dishes and bake @ 350degrees for 30 minutes. Makes a lot :-)
