- Add just enough Cheese to cover the stuffing. Set the rest of the stuffing and cheese aside
- Lift one edge of the foil and roll the sausage around the stuffing, making a loaf.

- Place the loaf, still wrapped in foil, on a baking sheet or into a loaf pan.
- Bake for 45 to 60 minutes (Internal temp of 160°F). The Bacon should be done.
- While it is baking, add the Olive Oil and the remaining Bell Peppers and Onions to a frying pan and saute’ until soft.
- Slice the loaf between Bacon strips and add the extra cooked Veggies over each slice.
