  • Stir in 1/4 cup of the tomato sauce until the mixture holds together.
  • Spoon the meat mixture evenly into each bell pepper, pressing down gently to fill them completely.
  • Spoon the remaining tomato sauce over the top of each stuffed pepper.

  • Remove from the oven and let the peppers rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Use rolled oats rather than quick oats so they absorb moisture without turning mushy. If the chorizo seems very fatty, drain any excess liquid from the baking dish halfway through cooking. Leftovers reheat well in a covered pan with a splash of water to keep the peppers from drying out.
