Footnotes
- To grill: preheat gas grill or prepare charcoal grill according to manufacture's directions. When ready to grill, place peppers on a grilling tray over low heat (gas grill) or on medium-high on a charcoal grill, 4 to 6 inches from coals; cover. Grill for 10 to12 minutes or until lightly browned.
- *To remove casings, cut sausage link end to end, about three-quarters of the way through. Flip sausage link over, grasp casing and pull off.
- **Safety tip: wear disposable gloves when cutting hot peppers; the oils can burn skin. Avoid touching your face.
- Serving suggestion: serve "poppers" with your favorite ranch or blue cheese dressing.
