This is a popular appetizer in Texas, where everything is BIG! These are no exceptions so don’t be surprised by how large the final product is.

Ingredients

Units Scale

Peppers

Breading

  • 1/2 pound raw pork sausage
  • 1/2 pound sharp Cheddar cheese

You can also grill these, turning a couple times.
