Preparation

2. Cut the top off of each pepper and remove the seeds. Transfer to a
square baking dish. Bake for 20 minutes, to soften.
 3. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large pot, or dutch oven, over medium high
heat. Add the onion and garlic, cook until softened.
4. Add the ground beef, sausage, salt, and pepper. Cook until the meat has
browned on all sides.
5. Add the diced tomatoes and tomato sauce. Bring the mixture to a light
simmer. Simmer for 5-10 minutes, remove from heat and set aside.
6. In a small bowl, combine ricotta, parmesan, basil, and egg. Mix together
with a fork, set aside.
7. Remove the peppers from the oven, drain any excess water that
accumulated inside.
8. Cut the lasagna noodles into quarters and set aside.
9. Assemble the lasagna in each pepper. Alternate 2 tablespoons of sauce,
1 lasagna noodle, 2 tablespoons ricotta mixture, and 1 lasagna noodle
until the peppers are full. Top with mozzarella cheese.
10. Bake in preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, until the cheese is melted and
slightly browned.
