Don't let the title frighten you! The inside of your oven will be fine:)! As i surveyed the contents of my kitchen the other day, i saw all the fixin's for stuffed peppers, but i wanted something heartier. Using joe bob mac's recipe #41118 as my inspiration, i came up with this simple, tasty casserole. It is vegan, but regular sausages and cheese can certainly be used.
