Chicken Sausage Stuffed Peppers

When I look back on my childhood there are a few meals that I recall being in our weekly or monthly dinner rotation. One of the meals that I always looked forward to were my dad’s stuffed peppers! Each time, they were a little different but they always felt like home and brought a sense of comfort. It was a family favorite!

For this recipe, I took dad’s stuffed pepper concept which usually consisted of Italian flavors as the base, and used al fresco’s Roasted Pepper & Asiago Chicken Sausage as the protein! We keep al fresco chicken sausage on hand for healthy, time-saving dinners since it is fully cooked. Al fresco offers a wide variety of flavors to mix things up throughout the week.  The Roasted Pepper & Asiago flavor works great in these Italian Chicken Sausage Stuffed Peppers!

If you’ve never tried making stuffed peppers before, they are actually a fun meal to make because the bell peppers are a neat vessel for the rice and chicken sausage mixture. They also make for a healthier “comfort food” option!

Before we get to the recipe, I wanted to take a moment to say, I hope you and your family enjoy this recipe as much as my family and I have for all these years.
