Stuffed Peppers

So the other week I bought some sausages.  Well, a TON of sausages.  So I wanted to come up with some cool ideas to use them all. I like cutting up sausages and using the meat just like a ground beef or chicken. I also have been trying to eat more vegetables.  What I came up with was Stuffed Peppers!SausagesLike I said, a ton of sausages …Frying SausageStart by taking two of the sausages and breaking them open.  Then pan fry them in a cast iron skillet.Frying OnionsAfter the sausage, use the left over grease to fry some thinly sliced onions.Frying Peppers and OnionsI also threw in some slices of green pepper from the reamed out pepper.Diced Parmesan CheeseFor the cheese component of this recipe I used Parmesan.  I just chopped a block of Parmesan into tiny squares.Stuffed Peppers StuffingNow it’s time to throw it all together!  Combine all of the ingredients in a bowl to make the stuffing.Mixed StuffingHere’s a shot of the mixed stuffing.Empty PepperFor the pepper, cut off the top and cut out the seeds and side supports.Peppers Ready for Cooking with Quail EggThen stuff ’em!  I had some quail eggs so I thew one in there for good measure.

Black and Decker Convection Oven
My convection oven is my best friend. Whenever I am making a dinner for just one or two I always use this over my full sized oven. Meals like Lazy Keto Chicken were designed for this thing, the hot air cooks stuff super fast and uses less energy.
