Sausage, Cheese and Pepper Boats




  • 1 lb. ground sausage
  • ½ teaspoon ground sage
  • 2 large green bell peppers
  • 8 oz. Pepper jack cheese bar
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon salsa
  • 8 slices bacon
  • 8 hot dog buns

  1. Mix ground sage into the ground sausage. Separate into into 16 pieces and roll into little logs.
  2. Slice cheese into 16 strips.
  3. Slice each pepper in half, lenthwise. Remove stems and seeds. Make each half into 4 wedges. You will have 16 pieces altogether.
  4. Cut bacon slices in half.
  5. Nest each sausage log into a wedge of bell pepper.
  6. Place a strip of cheese on each one.
  7. Wrap each “boat of green pepper, sausage, and cheese with a ½ slice of bacon. Secure with a toothpick. (I didn't have any, but next time I will be doing this).
  8. Bake on a rack for 40 minutes at 350 degrees or until the bacon is brown enough for you.
  9. While boats are baking, combine ½ cup mayonnaise and 1 tablespoon salsa. Mix well.
  10. Remove from oven and let them sit for a few minutes so they don't fall apart.
  11. Place 2 boats in each bun.
  12. Drizzle sauce over them.
  13. Serve and enjoy.



Note: Next time I make this, I am going to toast the buns in the oven or on the grill.
