Today is the last day of the Pepper Party – and I’m a little sad that it’s over already. I’ve really been enjoying coming up with fun pepper recipes and I love seeing what everyone else came up with. There are definitely some really talented people participating in this event!

To help wrap things up, our sponsor Divemex has once again supplied a fabulous prize: $200 in magazine subscriptions to any food magazines of the winner’s choice! I’m kind of a magazine junkie, so I’m super excited about this one.  Scroll on down to the end of this post for more information on how to enter. (What magazines would I get? Fine Cooking, Food and Wine, and Bon Appetit in the longest subscription length offered.)

For even more great prizes, like a subscription to Food Network Magazine, you can also participate in tonight’s PinChat Live from 8-9pm EST. Come to this Pinterest Board and answer a question in the comment section for a chance to win.

For my last pepper recipe, I decided to do a stuffed pepper. I know…. booooring, right? Whatever. This is one of those easy weeknight meals that I wrote about the other day, and if I could make it after a day like today there’s really not to make them.

This recipe, which is sort of a French-ish twist on sausage and peppers, is inspired by Dorie Greenspan’s “Pumpkin Stuffed with Everything Good.” This recipe was pretty popular a few years ago and although it does look delicious, I always sort of had an issue with it. Namely, that there was no sausage. Can you really say something is stuffed with everything good if there’s no sausage? Um, no.  So I fixed that little problem and made a few other adjustments and there you go.

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 30 minutes
Total Time: 40 minutes
Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • 4 hot Italian sausages
  • 1 loaf day-old bread cut into 1/4 inch cubes (about 4 cups)
  • 4 ounces gruyere shredded
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme
  • ½ cup chicken stock
  • 4 red bell peppers
  • ¼ cup fat free half and half

Instructions

  • Heat your oven to 350ºF.
  • Remove the sausages from their casings. Crumble into a large skillet set over medium heat until cooked through, about 7 minutes. In a large bowl, mix together the bread, sausage, cheese, and thyme. Pour in just enough chicken stock to moisten the bread (you might not need it all).
  • Pour 2 cups of water into the bottom of a rectangular baking dish. Cut the peppers in half lengthwise; discard the stems and seeds. Stuff the peppers halves with the sausage and bread mixture; drizzle with half and half.
  • Bake 30 minutes, or until peppers are soft. Serve immediately.

  1. I like to bake an egg in a bell pepper. I have found that I like it better if I microwave (I know horrors!) or even pre-roast the cut hollow pepper for just a bit before putting in (get this it’s quite decadent) cream cheese & Tabasco sauce with the egg on tap then the egg.

  2. My favorite bell pepper recipe is the Vegetarian Times’s Quinoa Stuffed Bell Peppers… it’s seriously THE best … I think it was published about 5-6 years ago.
