NOT-SO-PRO TIPS
I highly recommend using uncooked poultry sausage for this dish! While you can use precooked, the texture and oils of uncooked sausage contribute a lot to the overall meal. Victoria’s Sauce is one of my all-time favorite products! It’s lower in sugar than many other pre-made sauces and is delicious.
If you’re getting impatient waiting for the cheese to melt, you can loosely cover your pan on the stovetop to speed up the process. If your dish is oven-safe, you can also put it under a broil for a quickly browned topping
For this recipe, I typically slice my pepper into two halves and stuff each equally with filling. If you prefer the look of a single, fully stuffed pepper, though, slice the top off and fill the entire cavern with filling. Follow the remaining directions from there.
If you’re concerned about buying an entire package of poultry sausages to only use one, remember that they freeze very well! I recommend separating the links before freezing though or you’ll end up with a block of frozen sausages.
