INGREDIENTS

  • Meat

    • 🐷 1 pound bulk sage-flavored pork sausage

  • Dairy

    • 🧀 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, at room temperature
    • 🧀 1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
    • 🧀 2 tablespoons shredded Cheddar cheese, or to taste

  • Vegetables

    • 4 large bell peppers - halved, seeded, and stems removed
    • 🧄 1 clove garlic, minced, or to taste

  • Seasoning

    • 1 tablespoon bacon bits, or to taste
    • 🧂 Salt and ground black pepper to taste

STEPS

1

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Line a square baking pan with aluminum foil.

2

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir sausage in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and discard grease.

3

Combine cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, bacon bits, and garlic in a bowl. Stir in cooked sausage and season with salt and pepper. Mix with your hands until all ingredients are well combined.

4

Scoop sausage mixture into the pepper halves; press lightly to pack. Don't overstuff or understuff. Place in the prepared pan.

5

Bake until stuffing has hardened slightly on the top, 18 to 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle with Cheddar cheese.

6

Let sit for 5 minutes before removing from the pan.
