  • 6.00 cup, Spinach - Raw

Cut the peppers in half, lay on a baking sheet. Cook the quinoa, cook the sausage in a pan, drain it and chop it up or remove castings and pan fry as little bits.  Take the everything but the peppers and cheese and mix in a bowl. Once mixed, fill peppers with mixture and top with cheese. Bake at 350 for about 15-20 minutes. You basically just want the peppers to have softened and everything to be hot. 

These freeze well, so make a double batch!
