You know what happens when you get the itch, you gotta scratch it. My itch was stuffed peppers.  

Started out browning up some turkey brats that I removed from the casing. Then added jalapeño, onion,garlic,black beans,chopped tomatoes,cilantro cumin, corn and s&p

Filled up the peppers and getting ready to go on the large at 400° indirect

Covered in foil for about 45mins then uncovered added the Colby/Monterey cheese along with some cherry for smoke

And ready to eat. Topped with sour cream & fresh chives

This was the first time for making these and it won't be the last. Wicked good!!

    That's funny @blind99 - my wife usually does the stuffed peppers but was working late so I took over.  I was way nervous until the first few bites were down the hatch.  All is well.  Lol

    Question if i may. Did you like the turkey as well as beef in the peppers? I have tried both pork and beef, but not turkey. You have raised my curiosity my friend.

    Thanks Jason!! 

    @sgh - I don't think I made enough for you to hurt yourself. Lol

    @CtTopgun - borrow, steal or just use. That is what the forum is about.

    I actually could go either way on the meats. Turkey with the right seasonings is great as long as I don't dry it out.  This was not dried. I added the extras before the turkey is done so the juice from the beans and tomatoes keep thing moist.

    Very nice cook.

    Great looking peppers Matt - love those.

    @SGH, sometimes when we sub turkey or chicken for beef, we add some powdered beef gravy mix to it while browning - just enough to add another layer, not to make it taste like beef.
