Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350. Cut peppers in half lengthwise, leaving stems attached. Remove seeds and membranes to make room for stuffing.
- Cook sausage in a pan for a minute or two, breaking it up into small crumbles, then add garlic and crushed red pepper flakes. Continue cooking until sausage is cooked through.
- Add sausage/garlic mixture to softened cream cheese in a medium bowl. Add black pepper and chives and mix thoroughly. Spoon sausage/cream cheese mixture into the pepper halves. Sprinkle the tops with a little parmesan cheese and bake for 10-12 minutes. Enjoy!
Notes
- 1 lb. of sweet mini peppers is approximately 15-20 peppers (depending on how big they are), which equals 30-40 stuffed mini peppers
- If you're looking for a spicier version, double or triple the amount of crushed red pepper flakes and/or add some cayenne pepper to the filling.
- You can use 4 oz. of cream cheese instead of 8 oz, but there will be a little less filling and the peppers will be a little meatier. Still delicious.
