Campfire Stuffed Peppers
Campfire stuffed peppers sound like a delicious and adventurous twist on a classic dish! Here’s a simple recipe you could try:
Ingredients:
- 4 large bell peppers (any color)
- 1 pound ground beef or turkey
- 1 cup cooked rice
- 1 cup canned diced tomatoes
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or your favorite)
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: chopped fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro for garnish
Instructions:
- Prepare the Peppers: Cut the tops off the peppers and remove the seeds and membranes. You want the peppers to stand upright, so you may need to slice a small amount off the bottom if they’re uneven. Set aside.
- Prepare the Filling: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef (or turkey) until it’s browned. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, cooking until softened and fragrant.
- Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together the cooked beef mixture, cooked rice, diced tomatoes, and half of the shredded cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Stuff the Peppers: Fill each pepper with the mixture, packing it down gently. Top each pepper with the remaining shredded cheese.
- Cooking over Campfire: If you’re cooking over a campfire, you can wrap each stuffed pepper individually in aluminum foil. Place the wrapped peppers on a grill grate over the fire and cook for about 20-25 minutes, or until the peppers are tender and the filling is heated through.
- Serve: Carefully unwrap the foil from each pepper and transfer them to plates. Garnish with chopped fresh herbs if desired. Enjoy your campfire stuffed peppers!
