Creamy Tomato Basil Sausage Stuffed Peppers

These stuffed peppers are so quick and easy to make you won’t believe how full of flavor they are. They are a great make ahead dish for meal prep or family potluck. The recipe calls for green peppers, but you can use any color bell peppers you prefer. I like to use a variety of colors for a festive look to the finished dish.
