These poppers work perfectly as an appetizer or adapted as a main meal by using regular bell peppers. The spicy sausage mixture compliments the sweetness of the peppers and pairs well with a glass of chilled milk.

I love the idea of using wonton wrappers instead of traditional breading. It makes these pepper poppers so much lighter and crispier.
