My mother cooked with barley a lot, so when I found this recipe for stuffed peppers, I know it would be great. I just made a few changes to suit our tastes, and now it's a weekday dinner standby.—Rosella Peters, Gull Lake, Saskatchewan
Ingredients:
4 large green peppers
1/2 pound johnsonville® mild ground italian sausage
1 cup chopped onion
1 to 2 garlic cloves, minced
1 can (8 ounces) tomato sauce
3 cups cooked barley
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
Directions:
1. Cut tops off peppers; remove seeds. In a large kettle, blanch peppers in boiling water for 3 minutes. Drain and rinse in cold water; set aside. In a skillet over medium heat, cook sausage, onion and garlic until onion is tender and sausage is no longer pink; drain. Stir in tomato sauce, barley, thyme, salt and pepper; heat through. Spoon into peppers; place in an ungreased 8-in. square baking dish. Cover and bake at 350° for 25-30 minutes or until peppers are tender and filling is hot. Yield: 4 servings.
