Ingredients
- 4 bell peppers
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium red onion chopped
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 8 ounces BBQ sauce
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 cup smoked Cheddar cheese shredded
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
- Using a sharp knife, remove the top of the bell peppers so they become a bowl. Trim out the white membrane as well if it is thick. Place peppers on a rimmed baking sheet and bake for 25 minutes.
- While the peppers are baking prepare the filling by browning the beef and sauteing the onion together in a large skillet set over medium heat. Crumble the beef as it cooks.
- Once the beef is browned add garlic and cook for an additional minute. Then stir in BBQ sauce, Worcestershire sauce, salt, paprika, and pepper.
- Remove the peppers from the oven and fill half way with the beef mixture. Add a layer of cheese, and continue to fill. Top with an additional layer of cheese.
- Set your broilers on high heat and place the stuffed peppers on your top rack and broil until the cheese has melted.
Notes
Using yellow, orange, or red peppers will add more natural sweetness. Green peppers will work OK but are less sweet.
Smoked sharp cheddar is the best choice for this recipe but it can be hard to find. Any smoked cheddar or sharp cheddar will work as a substitution.
