1 1/2 to 2 cups of shredded mozzarella cheese (part skim)

Here is how you make Sausage, Mushroom and Pepper Bake:

Preheat oven to 375F. Spray a baking dish with non-stick spray or olive oil. Wash mushrooms and cut into thick slices. Trim away stem and seeds of peppers and cut into thick strips. Heat part of your olive oil in a large non-stick pan and start to brown the sausage over medium/high heat, turning occasionally to colour all sides.While sausage cooks, heat more olive oil in a separate pan and saute mushrooms over medium/high heat until they are lightly browned. Transfer mushrooms to the bottom of the baking dish.Heat more olive oil in the same pan and saute peppers over medium/high heat until they're starting to soften, (about 4 -5 minutes. They will cook more in the oven.) Layer the peppers over the mushrooms in the baking dish.When the sausage is browned on all sides, remove to a cutting board and let cool enough to slice. Then cut the sausage in half lengthwise, and then again into thick chunks, reheat the pan, and finish cooking the sausage. Layer the sausage over the mushrooms and peppers and cover with shredded mozzarella.Bake for 25 minutes, or until all ingredients are sizzling hot and the cheese is melted and nicely browned. Serve hot.Serving Size: Makes 6 servingsNumber of Servings: 6Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user KRYSTINRACHELMP.
