This is my kicked-up twist on classic stuffed peppers taking stuffed peppers to a whole new level of yumminess.

A homemade spiced tomato sauce makes the base of the dish and sweet peppers stuffed with chorizo sausage, rice, scallions, and cilantro are nestled in the sauce and topped with cheese. Yum! 

These peppers are a meal to make now as we are still getting tomatoes and peppers from our gardens, but are starting to get into fall and seeking some more comfort food. It's one of those late summer/early autumn transition dishes. I, for one, am really looking forward to fall - my most favorite season. 

I love this time of year when you are in the midst of peak harvest season and surrounded by fresh produce. It's time for me to get canning!

We really enjoyed these peppers a lot. If you want a spicier version, try using poblano peppers instead of sweet peppers - this was my original intention when I was thinking of this dish; however, they didn't have any at the market that day but did have these really lovely red peppers. This dish will feed 3-4 people.
