Ready In: 1 hr 25 mins
Serves: 4
Ingredients

- 1⁄2 cup long grain rice (I use basmati)
- 3⁄4 cup chicken broth
- 1 medium onion, small dice
- 3 garlic cloves, minced

- salt and pepper
- 1 -2 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 -2 cup marinara sauce (homemade preferably)
Directions
- 1. Add olive oil to heated pan and saute onion until softened.
- 2l. Add sausage and garlic and cook all the way through.
- 3. Add rice into the meat mixture and stir until all of the rice is
- coated and toasted through, about a minute.
- 4. Season with pepper and cinnamon.
- 5. Add the stock and bring to a boil. Check for salt. If needed, add at
- this time.
- 6. Reduce the heat and cover, simmer for about 15-20 minutes.
- 7. The rice may not be fully cooked, still a little hard, but that's okay.
- as you'll be stuffing into veggies and cooking again.
- 8. Once cooked, spoon into cleaned out veggies and place into a
- casserole dish.
- 9. Pour sauce over stuffed veggies and cover with lid or tinfoil.
- Bake at 350 degrees for about an hour, or until veggies are softened.
- ***If preparing the night before let the rice mixture cool before stuffing
- veggies, otherwise the heat from the filling will wilt the veggies.***.
