Instructions

1

Cook the Sausage

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook the ground sausage, breaking it into very small crumbles, until browned and cooked through with no pink remaining. Drain excess fat and let cool for 5 minutes.

2

Make the Filling

In a mixing bowl combine the softened cream cheese and cooled sausage crumbles, stirring until well mixed. Season with salt and taste to adjust. The filling should be thick enough to hold its shape when spooned.

3

Fill and Broil

Spoon or pipe the filling generously into each pepper half. Arrange on a baking sheet and broil on high for 4 to 5 minutes until the tops are golden and the peppers are slightly tender. Serve warm.

Substitutions

ground Italian sausagecooked and crumbled chorizo for a spicier smokier filling
cream cheesericotta cheese blended with a pinch of garlic powder for a lighter filling

Common mistakes

Not draining the fat from the cooked sausage makes the cream cheese filling greasy and causes it to slide out of the peppers
Overfilling the peppers causes the filling to bubble over during broiling and create a mess on the baking sheet
