With football season upon us, I find myself many evenings sitting outside with Dave while he watches the games.  Yep.  We have an outdoor television.  Seems that the only time we use it is for football.  But I have to say that it is a great way to meet the campers around us and enjoy a fun evening!

This week, I decided to make a party of it (our version of tailgating).  I went to Family Dollar, picked up some Coca-Cola™, Diet Coke®, Sprite, and Wise Chips.  And…I put together one of my favorite grilled appetizers – Chorizo Stuffed Grilled Peppers!

Chorizo sausage is the secret to these yummy appetizers.  They take just minutes to put together, very few ingredients, and pack a punch when it comes to taste.

  • Place on heated grill and cover grill.  Cook for about 5 minutes, just long enough to sear the bottoms of the peppers and melt the cheese.
