Stuffed bell pepper recipes are known to be a Southern American classic. My great Aunt Susie passed this recipe down to me almost a decade ago. I have since tweaked it and made it my own due to everyone’s taste and food allergies.

This recipe is on our monthly dinner menu and I normally change it every time. This last time I added a sharp cheddar throughout the bell peppers while I was stuffing them. I picked it up from our local grocery store since it was on sale. It made for an amazing pairing with all of the other ingredients. It also helped to tone down the acidity from the condensed tomato soup!

Directions

First, cook bell peppers for 5 minutes in boiling sparkling water in order to keep color of bell peppers bright. If you don’t have any sparkling water you can cook in tap water. Drain and set to the side.

Cook Italian sausage and potatoes on Medium until almost done then add onions and cook for additional 5 minutes.
