Yesterday I wanted to do something with a bunch of big Bell Peppers I needed to pick so I
googled smoked stuffed bell peppers. I got plenty of ideas from those links but decided to do my own thing as long as I stuck to the basic ideas. It seems a bell roasts best on indirect heat over 325 for about 45 minutes to an hour. These came out really good so here's what I did.
I split 6 bells in half
like these here. But I didn't follow that recipe. In olive oil I sauteed an onion and three cloves of garlic. With the back of a spoon I spread a tablespoon of cream cheese in the bottom of each half (thinking about cream cheese stuffed poppers). I put the sauteed onion garlic mix over the cream cheese. Each half then got two very sweet cherry tomatoes also halved (cut sides up), pressed into the garlic/onion/cream cheese. I topped the tomatoes with sliced pepperoni and the pepperoni with a mozzarella, romano blend. I roasted them until the peppers were soft and the cheese melted and browning. B i g h i t.
