I’m not sure where I first encountered this delicious dish, Stuffed Sweet Peppers, but I’m so glad I did! My husband and I now make stuffed peppers often as a side when we have steaks. Who would have thought to stuff sweet peppers with pepperoni and mozzarella cheese and then grill them? I didn’t, but I’m certainly glad someone introduced us to it.
Here’s how we do it:
Ingredients:
- Sweet peppers (orange or yellow are our favorites)
- Snack stick pepperoni (or slices/big pepperoni cut into smaller pieces)
- Mozzarella cheese (snack sticks, block, or shredded)
Instructions:
Prepare the Peppers:
- Choose larger sweet peppers if possible, but mini sweet peppers also work well.
- Cut out the stems, then use a knife to carefully cut the veins inside and remove the seeds. Wash the peppers, using water to help flush out the seeds.
Stuff the Peppers:
- Insert pieces of pepperoni and mozzarella cheese alternately into each pepper.
- Pack the cheese as far down into the pepper as possible, alternating with pepperoni until the pepper is full.
- Cooking Options:
- Grill:
- Place the stuffed peppers directly on the grill or in a cast iron skillet on the grill.
- Grill for about 40 minutes.
- Oven:
- Place the stuffed peppers in a silicone baking pan.
- Bake at 350°F for 30 minutes.
- Grill:
Tips:
- If you can’t find snack stick pepperoni or mozzarella, use slices or cut up a block into small pieces. Shredded mozzarella works well too.
- Stuffed sweet peppers are a great appetizer or side dish, perfect for game day snacks or as a simple, yet tasty addition to any meal. They only require three ingredients and about 30 minutes of baking time.
