Sausage-Stuffed Cherry Pepper Poppers

Sausage-Stuffed Cherry Pepper Poppers

Ingredients:

8 oz mild or spicy Italian sausage, casing removed
2 (14-oz) jars Peppadew cherry peppers (about 32), or other type of small, jarred cherry peppers
1 tsp olive oil
chopped parsley, optional

Preparation:
Drain the peppers. If using non- Peppadew brand peppers, you may need to remove the stem and seeds with a melon baller.

Pinch off a piece of sausage and stuff each pepper. Cover a baking sheet with foil and rub with the olive oil. Place the peppers, evenly spaced, on the pan.

Bake in a preheated 375 degrees F. oven for 20 minutes. Best served at room temperature.
