Stuffed Melrose Peppers



A Chicago Favorite

This Stuffed Melrose Peppers recipe has been in the family for a long time. Every family has their own delicious recipe with its own distinct flavor. Melrose Peppers are super sweet peppers shaped like Cubanelle peppers.

You can stuff these peppers with a variety of different ingredients such as Italian sausage, ricotta, fontina or mozzarella. Then they are fried, baked, broiled or grilled. Sometimes I’ll drop the whole thing right in the gravy raw and let them cook until they are tender and delicious.

Stuffed Melrose Peppers can be served with pasta, makes a great meal all by themselves with a nice crusty loaf of Italian bread or as a sandwich.
