My favorite stuffed pepper recipe EVER! If you love sloppy joes and stuffed peppers you’ll love this perfect combination of the two recipes.
Ingredients
2 tablespoons Olive Oil, Divided
1 medium Yellow Onion, Chopped
1 pound Ground Venison
1 teaspoon Salt
½ teaspoon Black Pepper
1 tablespoon Minced Garlic
1 tablespoon Tomato Paste
1 cup Tomato Sauce
¼ cup Ketchup
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon Apple Cider Vinegar
1 ½ – 2 cups Shredded Cheddar Cheese
3 Large or 4 Small to Medium Bell Peppers, Cut Lengthwise
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees.
-
Cut your bell peppers in half lengthwise, then remove the core and seeds. Drizzle one tablespoon of olive oil over the peppers and place them in a baking dish. Bake in the preheated for 15 minutes.
-
While the peppers are in the oven, heat the remaining one tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add onion and ground venison and cook, breaking up the venison as it cooks, until no longer pink, about 6-8 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and drain off any fat.
-
Add in minced garlic and tomato paste and cook for one minute, stirring constantly.
-
Add in tomato sauce, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce and apple cider vinegar. Stir well and simmer. Stir 1 cup of the cheese into the sloppy Joe mixture and divide evenly among the peppers. Top with remaining cheese then bake for 20-30 minutes or until the peppers are hot and bubbly and the peppers cooked to your desired firmness.
