The key to this recipe is to choose the best ingredients. Make sure you use only fresh bell pepper, onions and eggs.
The extra sharp cheddar cheese makes a long “whey” when it’s melted, which makes it excellent for cooking and baking.
Also make sure you cook the sausage all the way through and break it into small bite-sized pieces.
It can be tricky to shred a block of cheese as it gets sticky and starts to melt as you shred. So it’s best to put the cheese in the freezer for 15 minutes before shredding.
