Steps:
- Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir sausage in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and discard grease; set aside. Preheat an air fryer to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Cut a slit in one side of each sweet pepper lengthwise from stem to tip. Brush peppers with 1 tablespoon olive oil and place in the air fryer basket. Cook in the preheated air fryer for 3 minutes. Shake the basket and cook until peppers start to brown and soften, about 3 minutes more. Remove peppers and let stand until cool enough to handle; leave air fryer on. While peppers are cooling, stir together sausage, cream cheese, Cheddar cheese, blue cheese, chives, garlic, and black pepper in a medium bowl until well combined. Mix bread crumbs with remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a small bowl. Spoon cheese mixture into each pepper and sprinkle with bread crumb mixture. Place stuffed peppers in the air fryer basket, working in batches if necessary, and cook until filling is heated through and bread crumbs are toasted, 4 to 5 minutes. Cool slightly; serve warm.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- In a small frying pan, heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat for about 30 seconds. Add Jimmy Dean sausage and cook for 8 to 10 minutes until browned, stirring frequently to break up the sausage into small pieces, then drain. Remove the sausage and set aside.
- To the same pan, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil and reduce heat to medium. Add diced mushrooms and saute for about 5 minutes, until mushrooms are softened and brown.
- In a bowl, mix the sausage and mushrooms with the rice and parsley, and 1/2 cup of the mozzarella. Season to taste, and fill each bell pepper halfway with the mixture.
- Top each pepper with additional cheese, and bake for 10 to 15 minutes.
- Carefully remove the peppers from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Tips:
- Choose mini peppers that are firm and brightly colored, with no blemishes or bruises.
- Before stuffing the peppers, remove the tops and seeds to create a hollow cavity.
- Use a variety of cheeses for the filling, such as mozzarella, cheddar, Parmesan, or goat cheese.
- For a spicy kick, add some diced jalapeños or cayenne pepper to the filling.
- To save time, use pre-cooked sausage or ground beef for the filling.
- Don't overcrowd the air fryer basket, as this will prevent the peppers from cooking evenly.
- For a crispy exterior, spray the peppers with cooking spray before air frying.
- Serve the peppers immediately, garnished with fresh herbs or a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.
