Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 10 pieces Mini bell peppers
- 16 ounces Little smokie sausages
- 8 ounces Tomato sauce
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Wash the mini bell peppers and slice them in half lengthwise. Remove seeds and membranes.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add little smokie sausages and cook for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly browned. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a small bowl, mix the tomato sauce, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Spread a small amount of the sauce mixture in the bottom of a large baking dish to prevent sticking.
Fill each halved mini bell pepper with a little smokie sausage. Arrange the filled peppers in a single layer in the baking dish.
Pour the remaining sauce mixture evenly over the filled peppers and sausages.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 5 minutes, or until the peppers are tender and the sauce is bubbling.
Allow to cool slightly before serving. Serve warm as a delicious appetizer or side dish.
