Couscous stuffed peppers

Another new recipe to share. This one from my own head after reading a few others for some inspiration. Full disclosure, its still in the oven now, so I haven't tested it yet, but I will update with that later.

 Ingredients

* Sweet peppers (bell), 2 medium

  * Italian Sausage, pork, 1 link, 4/lb

* Couscous, 1 cup, cooked

* Feta Cheese, .25 cup, crumbled

* Pepperjack Cheese (pre-sliced), 1.5 slices

* Emeril Essence to taste

* Ground black pepper to taste

Directions

Remove sausage meat from casing and brown in skillet. Cook couscous per package instructions, to yield about 1 cup. Cut the top off of the bell peppers and remove seeds and pith. Once sausage and couscous are cooked mix together with the crumbled feta. season with a little essence and pepper as desired (or whatever other seasoning floats your boat). Stuff filling into each pepper. Crumble the pre-sliced pepperjack over the top of the peppers. Bake at 350* for about 35 minutes, for cheese to melt and peppers to get soft.

Serving Size: 2 peppers, one per person
