How To Make Smoked Stuffed Peppers

bell peppers, any color

beef

onion (finely chopped)

garlic (finely chopped)

rice* (cooked)

marinara sauce

cabbage (shredded)

cheddar cheese (shredded)

tbsp Italiano seasoning

salt

⅛ tsp pepper

Cut bell peppers in half, take out the seeds and trim the membrane and discard.

Heat a large skillet on the stove on medium heat.  Add the ground beef, diced onion, and garlic.

Brown the meat until no pink remains, stirring frequently.  Break the meat into smaller pieces.  Drain any fat.

Into the skillet, add rice and cabbage.  Stir together until well mixed and heated through.  The cabbage will cook down and blend in with the meat.

Add in marinara sauce, Italiano seasoning, salt, and pepper.  Mix well.  Heat for 1-2 minutes.  Remove from heat.

Preheat smoker to 325 degrees F.

Spoon cooked ground beef mixture evenly into peppers.

Top each pepper with shredded cheese.

Place parchment paper on a rimmed baking sheet and place stuffed peppers on it.  The baking sheet will catch any cheese that melts off.

Place the baking sheet with peppers directly onto the grill grate of the preheated smoker.  Close lid and smoke for 30 minutes, or until peppers are heated through and cheese is bubbly on top.  The peppers are done when they are tender and can be pierced with a fork.

Tender peppers that are filled with a ground beef and Italian Sausage mixture and smoked on your tender for an easy and healthy dinner recipe.

Smoked Stuffed Peppers

bell peppers

Italian sausage

onion (diced)

garlic (minced)

mozzarella cheese

Cilantro (for garnish)

Preheat the smoker to 300 degrees Fahrenheit

Prepare the bell peppers by cutting off the tops and removing the stems/seeds. Save the top of the pepper to dice and add into the stuffing.

In a large pan over medium heat, brown the ground beef and ground sausage.

Once cooked, drain the meat and set aside.

Sauté the onions and diced pepper tops with a splash of olive oil for about 5 minutes.

Add the garlic and continue to cook until the vegetables start to soften, about 3 minutes.

Combine the meat and the vegetables in a bowl and stir in the shredded cheese, leaving about half to top the peppers with later.

Fill each bell pepper with the ground meat and vegetable mix.

Place the peppers in the smoker, making sure to set them so they won’t fall over while cooking.

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.

Top the peppers with the rest of the mozzarella cheese and smoke for about another 10 minutes, or until the cheese has melted.

Carefully remove from the smoker, garnish with parsley, and serve.
