This recipe is really delicious and so I wanted to share it with everybody. Some chefs may turn their noses up at it, but everybody that I have forced to eat it loved it. :) :) :) I do not use the pepperoni, and instead add a little more ham and salami to take its place. Seems to be a little greasy when you use pepperoni. Is also much, much better if you do not use the jars of roasted peppers and roast your own instead. I always use black forest ham....ummmmmm

They are yummy. The hardest thing about them is getting enough liquid out of the peppers. Have used almost half a roll of paper towels trying to squeeze the water out of them.

Also they freeze well when vacuum packed. I have frozen them cooked AND uncooked and they turn out great either way. :)

To me they are best if they sit for a few minutes and aren't super hot. The flavor seems to come out when they are still warm and are still great at room temperature. My nephew loves them right from the frig.....ewwwwww :)

I have been known to even put a couple of these in the toaster oven for breakfast. :)
