Don't you just love nights when you can justify the need for multiple Eggs? (w/ pics)

Last night I had the chance to fire up all three Eggs and so, once again, justify to my wife the need for multiple Eggs.[p]Here's the All-Star Team in action (well, you can't really tell that they're doing anything, but they're all cooking away vigorously).[p][p]I decided to try stuffed bell peppers for the first time tonight. With RRP's help I used a recipe submitted by "Lee2" on the recipe page of the BGE site as my go-by. I made about a cup of jasmine rice in my rice cooker, grilled about 4 spicy Italian sausages on Mini (about 10 minutes a side at 400 with hickory), then sliced up the sausages and sauteed them with diced onions and olive oil, then spooned the onion/sausage mixture in with the rice and grated about a cup of pepperjack cheese on top, then stirred everything together.[p]Here's what the stuffing mixture looked like:[p][p]After cutting the tops off the peppers and scraping out the insides, I parboiled them in water for about 5 minutes just to soften, then stuffed them with the mixture.[p]I sprinkled some red pepper flakes, basil, and paprika on the tops before taking to my Small Egg, which I had running at about 375 degrees with two split firebricks sitting directly on the cooking grid. I made a foil pan and placed it into a 2" deep round cooking pan and placed the peppers in the foil as seen here:[p][p]After about 20 minutes, I sprinkled some additional grated pepperjack on the tops of the peppers, and after about 30 minutes they were done:[p][p]I also did some Dizzy Dusted pork tenderloin on the Medium:[p][p]as well as some Italian dressing marinated baby bellas on the Mini for about 10 minutes at 450, stirring them around after the first 5 minutes:[p][p]Here's a pic of the plated meal, with some snow peas that, oh well, were cooked on the stove (if I had just had one more Egg, honey!)[p][p]Cheers to all and have a restful Sunday,[p]TRex

<p />TRex,
couldn't say it better my self. cooked the cake for the little lady, maybe she'll let me get the third egg?[p]ribs will be done soon, cake is already missing a few slices, you know... life is short, eat dessert first!

backyardbbq,[p]They were delicious. Very rich and filling. I'll probably add garlic next time, and maybe some small cranberries - cheese was just right, although I will try some different kinds - the mixture of pepperjack cheese and spicy Italian sausage was almost too much strong "hot" spice flavor - maybe I'll use mozzarella next time.[p]TRex

tinman,[p]Great looking cake. How does it turn out on the Egg?[p]TRex

Uncle Phil,[p]You would have certainly been welcome - we had TONS of left overs (I always cook too much food - something my dad taught me: always cook enough food so that you can feed a couple of unexpected guests).[p]TRex

TRex,
puuurfect! better than oven. It was cooked more even and browned consistant. one drawback, took about 45 min. longer. I saw DRBBQ cook a cake at Eggtoberfest 04, my friends keep asking when I was going to do it, so today I was pushed. I tried not to peek, but I looked a few times, all was normal.

TRex,[p]Very Nice!

Thanks, John. These stuffed peppers have a lot of potential for experimentation (not to mention photo-ops ;-)[p]Jason
