Sauté until soft, then add garlic. Add rice, then season with salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, cayenne, oregano, and thyme. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Season the insides of the bell peppers with salt and pepper to taste, then spoon the rice and sausage mixture into the peppers.
- In a small bowl, combine the bread crumbs and cheese, then sprinkle in a bit of paprika, garlic powder, cayenne, oregano, and thyme. Sprinkle mixture over each pepper and top with 1 t of butter.
- Place peppers in a baking dish or pan, adding just enough water to dover the bottom. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the tops are crusty. Serve while warm and refrigerate leftovers!
