Grilled Stuffed Peppers

July 21, 2019 By //  by Hannah 14 Comments

Stuffed peppers on the grill

Most people don’t like to turn on the oven in the middle of the summer when temperatures outside are scorching.  However, that doesn’t mean that you have to forget about your favorite winter baked recipes during the hot months of the year.  There are so many recipes that can be adapted from oven to grill.  Today I’m sharing one of my favorites, grilled stuffed peppers!

Ingredients

Aluminum Foil

Stuffed Peppers -Tips & Tricks

Pepper Selection

Ok, you’re probably thinking “why do I need advice on selecting peppers”?  Well, for stuffed peppers, grilled or baked, you’ll want to pay extra attention to the peppers that you choose.  If you’re expecting them to stand up on the grill or in the oven in a dish, you’ll want to choose peppers that have a fairly flat bottom.  if they have a pointy bottom you’re screwed.

Stand Them Up

Cut a square piece of aluminum foil and place the pepper in the center.  Then, bunch up the aluminum foil around the pepper to create a donut/bowl for the pepper to rest on.  This will help it to stand up on the grill.

I made two with cheese and two without since I’m non dairy but my husband loves everything dairy.  My grill thermometer showed a temperature of 450 degrees and the peppers took about 30 minutes to cook.  The pepper itself should be soft and the cheese should be melted before you take them off the grill.  The filling is already cooked so if you prefer your peppers more on the crunchy side, adjust the cooking time as needed.

I love making what are typically winter recipes on the grill.  With enough attention, you can pretty much grill anything!

    This looks like fun to do on the BBQ! My husband and I make stuffed peppers in the oven, but have yet to try them on the BBQ. I also like your stuffing variation…it would be something fun and different from the usual way I make mine 🙂

    These look delicious! I love how you did them with yellow and red peppers, rather than green. I think they are much less bitter. I have never made stuffed peppers on the grill before, but I am willing to give it a try!

      Thanks Laurie. I also prefer the red, yellow and orange peppers. That little extra sweetness makes a huge difference!

    I’ve always made my stuffed peppers with rice, but using quinoa is an amazing substitute! Thanks for sharing at Tuesday Turn About!

      Hi Julie! My mom bought me two giant bags of quinoa at Costco last year so I do what I can to use them up. It really is a great substitute for rice.
