Cooking Guidelines

To ensure food safety, the FDA recommends the following as minimum internal cooking temperatures:

  • Steak and Pork 145° F (rest cooked meat, 3 minutes) |
  • Seafood 145° F |
  • Chicken 165° F |
  • Ground Beef 160° F |
  • Ground Turkey 165° F |
  • Ground Pork 160° F

Customize It Instructions

  • If using ground beef, break up meat until beef reaches minimum internal temperature, 4-6 minutes.

  • If using ground pork, break up meat until pork reaches minimum internal temperature, 4-6 minutes.

  • If using ground turkey, break up meat until turkey reaches minimum internal temperature, 7-9 minutes.

  • If using Impossible burger, break up until burger reaches a minimum internal temperature of 160 degrees, 4-6 minutes.

  1. 1

    Start the Bell Peppers

    Remove stem and halve bell peppers lengthwise. Remove seeds and ribs.

    Season bell peppers all over with 1/4 tsp. salt. Place on prepared baking sheet, cut-side down, and spray with cooking spray.

    Roast in hot oven until tender, 16-18 minutes.

    While bell peppers roast, continue recipe.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Stem mushrooms and cut into 1/4” dice.

    Trim zucchini ends, quarter lengthwise, and cut into 1/4" pieces.

    Remove Italian sausage from casing, if necessary.

  3. 3

    Start the Filling

    Place a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat and add 1 tsp. olive oil.

    Add Italian sausage to hot pan. Break into smaller pieces until no pink remains and sausage reaches a minimum internal temperature of 160 degrees, 4-6 minutes.

  4. 4

    Finish the Filling

    Add zucchini, mushrooms, and a pinch of salt to hot pan. Stir occasionally until starting to brown, 5-7 minutes.

    Add flour and stir until no dry flour remains. Stir in 3/4 cup water and marinara. Bring to a simmer.

    Once simmering, stir occasionally until sauce is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, 2-3 minutes.

    Remove from burner. Add Italian cheese blend. Stir until combined.

  5. 5

    Finish Peppers and Finish Dish

    Carefully remove baking sheet from oven. Flip peppers cut-side up. Peppers will be hot! Use a utensil. Distribute filling evenly among pepper halves and top with mozzarella. There may be extra filling.

    Roast in hot oven until heated through and cheese is melted, 6-8 minutes.

    Carefully remove from oven.

    Plate dish as pictured on front of card. Bon appétit!
