  Once sausage is cool add all ingredients EXCEPT bacon in a mixing bowl, using a paddle on your stand mixer, mix until ingredients are well combined. You can also mix by hand.

  Place peppers on a lined baking sheet, (I use a silpat but you can use parchment paper) in 375º oven for 30 mins on. middle/low rack and bake for 30 min. Move baking sheet to upper middle rack and back 10-15 min longer until bacon is browned. These would also be great grilled.
