Cheese Stuffed Mini Sweet Peppers
It’s the season of PARTIES and entertaining friends & family, which means tasty quick appetizers are a necessity.
I absolutely adore those little sweet peppers found in just about every produce section these days! I’ll often grab a big bag and turn them into snacks and appetizers throughout the week.
This recipe was a happy surprise – an experiment if you will, that happened because I was simply using what ingredients I had already at home. I will admit it may sound a little strange with the dill pickles involved, BUT the final result is really really tasty, tangy, CRAVEWORTHY, and also fairly inexpensive. So I think these cheese-stuffed mini peppers are THE
PERFECT snack or appetizer to make when you’re trying to feed a crowd!
I’m excited to hear how you like this recipe and also curious to learn about any adaptions you make!
🍅 When shopping for store-bought marinara sauce:
I like to make sure the marinara has no added sugar (tomatoes naturally contain sugar, but we don’t need added sugar in the ingredients list).
I REALLY prefer sauce in glass jars – much better flavor and no leaching from cans.
A good marinara sauce contains just a few simple ingredients such as tomatoes, garlic, and herbs. Splurge on the high-quality sauce when you can, because your dish will taste exactly like the sauce you use.
🍅 Try this with Rachel’s Homemade Marinara Sauce.
Since there are only a few simple ingredients used here, I really recommend using the absolute freshest, highest quality ingredients you can get your hands on… it makes all the difference.
🧀 Freshly grated cheese from a block will melt the best because pre-grated cheese is coated in preservatives that interfere with the natural melting capability of cheese.
