Step 1
Preheat the smoker to 300 degrees Fahrenheit

Step 3
In a large pan over medium heat, brown the ground beef and ground sausage.
Step 4
Once cooked, drain the meat and set aside.
Step 5
Sauté the onions and diced pepper tops with a splash of olive oil for about 5 minutes.
Step 6
Add the garlic and continue to cook until the vegetables start to soften, about 3 minutes.
Step 7
Combine the meat and the vegetables in a bowl and stir in the shredded cheese, leaving about half to top the peppers with later.
Step 8
Fill each bell pepper with the ground meat and vegetable mix.
Step 9
Place the peppers in the smoker, making sure to set them so they won’t fall over while cooking.
Step 10
Smoke the peppers for about 50 minutes, they should be slightly brown and tender, but the peppers should still have a bit of firmness. You don’t want them to be soggy.
Step 11
Top the peppers with the rest of the mozzarella cheese and smoke for about another 10 minutes, or until the cheese has melted.
Step 12
Carefully remove from the smoker, garnish with parsley, and serve.
