Sausage and Pepper Stuffed Bread

Sausage and Pepper Stuffed Bread

Bear Mountain ambassador Joe DiApice fired up our new Lump Charcoal to create this Italian Sausage & Pepper Bread Boat, and the results are next-level. Sweet bell peppers and onions are sautéed until tender, layered with melty mozzarella, and then topped with a hearty layer of Italian sausage. Grilled sausage-side down over the lump charcoal, this stuffed loaf comes out smoky, cheesy, and packed with bold flavor in every bite. It’s the ultimate shareable meal for cookouts, tailgates, or anytime you want to turn simple ingredients into something unforgettable.
