Chorizo Stuffed Sweet Peppers
Sweet & spicy is the best combination, hands down. Every bite filled with a tang but also a sweetness that makes you go back for seconds and thirds. These Chorizo Stuffed Sweet Peppers are just that. The small sweet peppers mixed with some spicy chorizo provide the the perfect flavor combination. Add the tomato sauce and mozzarella to give this baked dish a cheesy creamy addition it needs.

This dish was inspired by an appetizer I had years ago on a ski trip. The original dish was made of Anaheim peppers stuffed with spicy Italian sausage and baked in a rustic tomato sauce. My original intention was to recreate this but finding specific ingredients at the grocery store these days are pretty difficult. So we decided to make due with what we could find. And we are so happy we did, this dish turned out so much better than the original dish I had years ago.
As we stuffed these sweet peppers, we were on the boarder of grilling them on a grill pan instead of baking them. That is still something we want to try, maybe with an avocado sauce to top them once off the grill. But we decided to try to stick to some of the original elements of this dish such as tomato sauce and baking the peppers. So we baked these Chorizo Stuffed Sweet Peppers in the tomato sauce and topped with mozzarella.
When getting all of these ingredients from the store, I’m not going to lie, I was a little deflated at the lack of ingredients we were able to get. But the outcome ended but being better than I imagined. Whatever ingredients you are able to find, make the best of it and get creative in the kitchen. Stuffed peppers of any variety are always delicious. Check out our Healthy Chicken Parmesan Stuffed Peppers too!
