I used to go all out when entertaining at home. But I’ve grown wiser over the years. A stress-free hostess is a happy hostess!

The focus should be on getting dear friends and family together, not setting the perfect table and serving a 12 course meal. Though I still aim to serve excellent food, I’d rather be a relaxed hostess than a crazy woman trapped in the kitchen! These super easy, cream cheese stuffed mini peppers with sausage are a cinch to prepare and will be the hit of any gathering!

My mom was an amazing cook, but she wasn’t much of a baker. When my sisters and I yearned for a sweet treat, I turned to our trusty BH&G cookbook and zeroed in on the dessert tabs. My love of baking began in my childhood kitchen. I married a chocoholic and together we had 3 children with plenty of sweet teeth. I started my blog in 2010 to chronicle my baking journey.

Should peppers be pre cooked before stuffing?

Pre-bake the peppers! Our research found that pre-baking the peppers for 30 minutes makes them perfectly tender! Once you stuff them, you'll need 20 minutes in the hot even to get the cheese nice and melty.

What do you put in the cream cheese for peppers?

In a large bowl, combine the cream cheese, bacon, cheddar cheese, ¼ cup panko, 1 tablespoon melted butter, sliced green onions, minced garlic, salt, and pepper and mix until well incorporated. Stuff each jalapeño with the cheese mixture and set them on the prepared baking sheet.
