• 1 lb ground Italian sausage
• 2 cup bell peppers (any color, chopped)
• 2 cup chicken broth
• 1 cup tomato sauce
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 pinch black pepper
• 1 cup long grain white rice
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

In a large skillet on medium high, brown the Italian sausage. Add the bell peppers and cook until they begin to soften, about 5 minutes. Add the broth and scrape any browned bits off the bottom of the pan. Add the tomato sauce, salt, and pepper. Add the rice to the skillet. Stir well and bring to a simmer. Cover, reduce the heat to medium low, and simmer for 15-20 minutes until the rice is cooked through. Sprinkle with cheese, cover, and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
