For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a dash of hot sauce or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes to the egg mixture. Feel free to substitute the breakfast sausage with ground turkey or a vegetarian sausage alternative. If you're short on time, pre-cooked sausage and pre-shredded potatoes can be used to speed up the cooking process. These stuffed peppers are delicious served with a side of fresh fruit or a dollop of sour cream.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). (5 minutes)
02
StepHeat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add sausage; cook and stir until brown and crumbly. Transfer sausage to a bowl; set aside. Combine Cheddar and mozzarella cheeses in a separate bowl; set aside. (5-7 minutes)
03
StepBring a large pot of water to a boil. Cut tops off bell peppers; remove and discard seeds and veins. Parboil bell peppers in the boiling water. Drain; rinse with cold water. Dry; lightly season inside bell peppers with salt and black pepper. (10 minutes)
04
StepHeat oil in the same skillet over medium-high heat. Add potatoes and onion; cook and stir, breaking up and turning periodically, until potatoes are golden brown and crispy. Add sausage, 1/2 cheese blend, eggs, salt, and black pepper. Off heat, mix gently but thoroughly; set aside for 5 minutes. The eggs will not be fully cooked but will finish cooking in the oven. (15 minutes)
05
StepStir mixture; gently stuff into bell peppers about 90-percent full, leaving space for reserved cheese blend. Do not pack tightly. Place in a broiler-safe baking dish; cover.
06
StepBake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Uncover; continue baking until eggs are set and bell peppers are tender. Top with reserved cheese blend. Turn on the broiler and broil until cheese is browned. (30 minutes)
