Peppers (cut in halves and seeds removed) are filled with a delicious mixture of sausage, rotel and cream cheese, and then baked in the oven until cooked through.

Ingredients

• 1 lb bulk sausage (spicy, breakfast, italian, etc)

• 1 8oz brick of cream cheese, softened

• 1 can rotel (or diced tomatoes)

Directions

• Brown sausage while breaking into small pieces (I do not drain grease)
• Add can of rotel with juice and stir
• Add softened cream cheese (I cube mine for quicker melting).
• Heat through until melted and stir to combine.

Notes

• Bell peppers for a slight spiciness, sausages for savory flavor, and the melted cheese to combine and enhance with a creamy richness; this sounds like a perfect combination. Every bite is full of flavor.

Ingredient notes:

When choosing bell peppers, choose large, firm peppers for easy stuffing. You can choose different color peppers for better presentation.

This recipe goes well with all types of sausage. Hot Italian sausage offers heat and a bold flavor, but if you prefer a milder version, normal sausages work fine as well.

Mix cream cheese, mozzarella, and parmesan together for a creamy, melty cheese filling. This filling will melt beautifully in the oven.

To enhance the flavor profile, add paprika, black pepper, and red pepper flakes for a complex flavor.

Expert tips:

Sausages contain fat that is normally excessive for this recipe. Pre-cook them to remove the grease and help the seasoning infuse better.

To stuff the filling cleanly, use a piping bag.

Bake the peppers until bubbly to make sure the cheese filling melts completely.

Let them rest in the oven for a few minutes after baking to allow the flavor to settle and stabilize their shape.

Serving suggestions:

Serve with garlic bread to deepen the richness and extra crunch. You can also try veggie salad, its freshness balances the taste. Roasted veggies are also a great choice.

Iced tea, light beer, or sparkling lemonade will all pair beautifully with this dish.

Some parsley or basil leaves to garnish on top will add an elegant look to the dish.

FAQs:

• Can I use mini peppers if I find no large ones? Yes, they’re great for making bite-sized appetizers.
• Can I make it spicier? Yes, for the full spicy combo, use hot sausages with extra pepper flakes and jalapeno to make the filling.
• How long can I store the leftovers? Keep the leftover inside a sealed container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
• Can I make this ahead of time? Yes, you can prepare the filling and keep it in the fridge until use.
