Snack Shift: No-Crust Pizza Poppers!

 

Ingredients: 

- Sweet Mini Peppers

- Shredded Cheese - mozzarella or your favorite.

- Raw Ground Meat, well-seasoned - Italian sweet sausage, but you can use
        any ground beef, chicken, pork, or turkey, just be sure to season
        it up or the results may be bland.

Use this basic ratio: For every 5 peppers you’ll need about 3 ounces of meat and 1 ounce of cheese. 

Directions:   

Cut the tops off your mini peppers and scrape out the seeds to create a clean, hollow interior. Fill with layers of sausage (or seasoned ground beef, turkey, pork, or chicken) and shredded cheese, finishing with the cheese. Bake them in a 350 degree F. oven. Here's how...

BEST CHOICE - MUFFIN PANS: Stack filled mini peppers in an upright position, inside foil-lined muffin cups. Bake for approximately 35 to 50 minutes. The time will depend on your oven and how cooked you’d like your peppers. 

When is it done cooking? The sausage should no longer be pink and an instant read thermometer should register a reading of at least 160° Fahrenheit when stuck deep into the sausage filling. (Ground chicken and turkey should be cooked to 165° Fahrenheit.)
