How To Make cowboy burger stuffed peppers

  • 1
    Slice tops off peppers, set aside. Remove seeds from peppers & set aside.
  • 2
    Combine all other ingredients in a large bowl. Get in there with your hands and mix till evenly distributed.
  • 3
    Fill peppers to top with the meat mixture. Place tops of peppers back on. Wrap each pepper with aluminum foil.
  • 4
    To cook peppers you can either place the wrapped peppers on a hot grill for approximately 30 minutes, turning every few minutes or so till done; OR, and this is my preferred way, you can place the wrapped peppers directly on the coals in the grill or the campfire for about 15-20 minutes, turning (carefully) every couple minutes. Take a thermometer to the middle of the meat to ensure a temperature of at least 160 degrees F.

    Remove peppers from grill/coals. Let sit wrapped for about 10 minutes, then unwrap & enjoy! Serve with some bbq sauce & pickle spears.
