Ingredients
- 10 pieces Mini bell peppers
- 16 ounces Little smokie sausages
- 8 ounces Tomato sauce
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
Wash the mini bell peppers and slice them in half lengthwise. Remove seeds and membranes.
Step 3
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add little smokie sausages and cook for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly browned. Remove from heat and set aside.
Step 4
In a small bowl, mix the tomato sauce, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Step 5
Spread a small amount of the sauce mixture in the bottom of a large baking dish to prevent sticking.
Step 6
Fill each halved mini bell pepper with a little smokie sausage. Arrange the filled peppers in a single layer in the baking dish.
Step 7
Pour the remaining sauce mixture evenly over the filled peppers and sausages.
Step 8
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
Step 9
Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 5 minutes, or until the peppers are tender and the sauce is bubbling.
Step 10
Allow to cool slightly before serving. Serve warm as a delicious appetizer or side dish.
