Servings 4
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp Olive Oil
- 1 Red Bell Pepper, sliced
- 1 Yellow Bell Pepper, sliced
- 1 Green Bell Pepper, sliced
- 1 Small Onion, sliced
- Salt and Pepper
- 1 lb Ground Italian Sausage
- 1 tbsp Tomato Paste
- 6 Garlic Cloves, minced
- 1.5 Cups Marinara Sauce
- 1 (8 count) package frozen Garlic Toast
- 8 Slices Provolone Cheese, cut in half
Instructions
- In a large pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced red, yellow, and green bell peppers along with the sliced onion. Season with salt and pepper. Cover with a lid and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally until the vegetables are tender.
- Push the vegetables to the side of the pan and add 1 lb of ground Italian sausage. Cook until browned and fully cooked, then mix it with the sautéed peppers and onions. Drain any excess grease.
- Stir in 1 tablespoon of tomato paste and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Then, add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant. Finally, stir in 1.5 cups of marinara sauce and let it simmer on low heat for about 10 minutes.
- While the filling simmers, preheat your oven and bake the frozen garlic toast according to package instructions—usually about 6 minutes. Once baked, remove from the oven and use a large spoon to press down in the center, creating small “bowls” for the filling.
- Place half a slice of provolone cheese in each garlic toast bowl, followed by a generous scoop of the sausage and peppers mixture. Top with the other half of the provolone cheese and return to the oven for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
