Peppers Stuffed With Sausage And Cream Cheese Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with foil.
• Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil. Drop peppers into the boiling water. Turn heat off and let peppers soak until softened a bit, about 5 minutes. Remove peppers and set aside until cool enough to handle.
• Mix sausage and cream cheese thoroughly in a bowl. Fill peppers with sausage mixture and place on the prepared baking sheet. Roll any extra sausage mixture into meatballs and place next to the stuffed peppers. Spoon pasta sauce over peppers and meatballs and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
• Bake in the preheated oven until sausage mixture starts to turn golden brown and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads at least 160 degrees F (71 degrees C), about 35 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Line a square baking pan with aluminum foil.
• 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.
• 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.
• Scoop sausage mixture into the pepper halves; press lightly to pack. Don't overstuff or understuff. Place in the prepared pan.
• Bake until stuffing has hardened slightly on the top, 18 to 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle with Cheddar cheese.
• Let sit for 5 minutes before removing from the pan.

Steps:

• Place sausage in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium high heat until evenly brown. Drain, crumble and set aside.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• In a medium bowl, mix together the sausage, cream cheese, garlic salt, Romano cheese, oregano, basil, bread crumbs and olive oil.
• Stuff the peppers with the sausage mixture. Place on a baking sheet, and bake in the preheated oven 20 to 25 minutes, until the stuffing is lightly brown and bubbly.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Place sausage in a skillet over medium heat, and cook until evenly brown. Drain grease.
• In a bowl, mix the sausage, cream cheese, and Parmesan cheese. Spoon about 1 tablespoon sausage mixture into each jalapeno half. Arrange stuffed halves in baking dishes.
• Bake 20 minutes in the preheated oven, until bubbly and lightly browned. Serve with Ranch dressing.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• In a small frying pan, heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat for about 30 seconds. Add Jimmy Dean sausage and cook for 8 to 10 minutes until browned, stirring frequently to break up the sausage into small pieces, then drain. Remove the sausage and set aside.
• To the same pan, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil and reduce heat to medium. Add diced mushrooms and saute for about 5 minutes, until mushrooms are softened and brown.
• In a bowl, mix the sausage and mushrooms with the rice and parsley, and 1/2 cup of the mozzarella. Season to taste, and fill each bell pepper halfway with the mixture.
• Top each pepper with additional cheese, and bake for 10 to 15 minutes.
• Carefully remove the peppers from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• 1. In a skillet, crumble and brown sausage. Drain well. In a medium bowl, combine cream cheese and parmesan cheese. Fold in sausage.
• 2. Take peppers and cut in half. Remove seeds (if you are using jalapeno peppers, use rubber gloves). Take sausage mixture (approx. 1T) and put inside of peppers - pushing down slightly. Place on a aluminum foil lined sheet cake pan and bake @ 425 degrees for 15-20 minutes. Baking time may vary a bit depending on the type of pepper you use. This is based on jalapenos.
• 3. Ranch dressing for dipping is optional.
