Directions
- In a large bowl mix together the ground pork, onion, breadcrumbs, egg, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Fill the halved bell peppers evenly with the pork mixture.
- Heat the oil in a saute pan over medium heat. When the oil is hot lay the stuffed peppers pork-side down in the pan. Cover the pan with a lid and cook until the pork is well browned, 8 to 10 minutes.
- Remove the lid from the pan and carefully flip the peppers over. Place the lid back on the pan and cook for about 6 more minutes or until the pork is cooked through.
- Transfer the peppers pork-side up onto a serving dish and set aside.
- Mix together the SAUCE ingredients in a bowl until well combined. Keep the pan over medium heat and stir in the sauce. Cook, while scraping the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon, until sauce is thickened, about 3 minutes.
- Spoon the sauce over the peppers and serve.
