Game Day Sausage and Cheese Mini Stuffed Peppers

This is a compensated campaign in collaboration with Farmland® and Latina Bloggers Connect.


Even though the Super Bowl is over my family and friends still love to come together to watch our favorite teams like the New York Rangers (congrats on already clinching a play-off spot!) and the New York Yankees and Knicks.

I love to cook fun party food that is easy eat while standing, like my Game Day Queso Fundido Sausage Picadillo Dip, some chips, pizza bites, wings and decided to get creative with some mini peppers. I wanted something more flavorful than just plain ground meat so I decided to use Farmland sausage. I used my favorite Homestyle Sausage from Farmland® because it is gluten free with no MSG. It has a burst of natural flavor with enough fat to give it the best texture! Of course being Puerto Rican I had to add that Latin flair to my stuffing by adding our staple, sofrito!.


First I prepared the peppers by washing them and cutting them in half to make little boats. Then into my pan I added some olive oil and some diced peppers, onions and mushrooms. I cooked the veggies until they were softened a bit and then took the casing off of the sausage and added it to let it brown.



Next I added some sofrito, tomato paste and a little bit of cooked brown rice and cooked it and mixed it up until it all came together. I took a small spoon and stuffed the peppers. I lined the stuffed peppers into a baking pan and covered it with aluminum foil. Carefully place in oven and cook on 350 degrees for about 20 minutes. Remove foil, sprinkle shredded Italian blend cheese on top and cook for another 10 minutes or until cheese is brown and bubbly.
