Introduction
A healthy spin on a classic comfort food. I do not add any fillers like bread crumbs or cheeses. If you would like to add a flavor enhancment, add fresh grated parmesan cheese. The seasonings of the Chicken sausage make this perfect everytime. Growing up, my mom would let me have a whole bell pepper! Now that I am older and understand the need for portion control, I accomplish this by slicing the bell peppers directly in halves. A healthy spin on a classic comfort food.
