Smoked Stuffed Peppers
Smoked Stuffed Peppers are my favorite dinner because its a full meal in an edible bowl! Stuffed with sausage, rice, vegetables, rice and cheese - they take on a delicious smoky flavor from the Traeger!
Ingredients
- 10 medium bell peppers
- 1 lb Italian sausage
- 1 onion diced
- 2 carrots grated
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 15 oz diced tomatoes
- 1 cup marinara sauce
- 3 cups cooked brown rice
- 2 cups cheddar cheese grated
Instructions
- Preheat the smoker to 300º
- Prepare the bell peppers slicing in half from the top down keeping the stem in tact. Clean out the inside of the peppers by removing the seeds and ribs.
- In a large deep dish skillet or dutch oven over medium-high heat, sauté the sausage, onion, carrots and garlic. You don't need olive oil because the sausage has oil in it.
- To the pan, add diced tomatoes, marinara sauce and cooked rice. Turn off heat and let sit for 5 minutes.
- Add 1.5 cups of the shredded cheese and stir.
- Fill bell pepper halves with the stuffing mixture and place on a cookie sheet.
- Place baking sheet with the peppers into the smoker. Smoke peppers 60 minutes.
- Top the peppers with the rest of the cheese and smoke for about another 5 minutes, or until the cheese has melted.
- Remove cookie sheet from the smoker and serve with a sprinkle of fresh parsley.
