Derf's Note:

These lovely round small peppers come in red, yellow and green, they are sweet but range in heat, from mild to medium hot, sold fresh or pickled they make a very flavourful appetizer and can be filled with almost anything. Love 'em!!

I used sweet mini peppers. (They look like red, yellow and orange jalapenos, but are sweet.) I also omitted the garlic sausage, as I didn't have anything like that on hand. Because of this omition, I added about a teaspoon of fresh minced garlic and a little Lawry's seasoned salt. I also diced jalapeno in the filling rather than green chilies. Of course, the longer these sat, the more the heat of the pepper developed, but my guest loved these.
