How to Make Chili Stuffed Peppers Recipe

How to Make Chili Stuffed Sweet Bell Peppers

This recipe shows you how to make chili stuffed peppers. This is a very old recipe. And it is very easy to make. It gets its name from the chili beans in the recipe. It only has a little chili powder, just enough to give it good flavor without much “heat”. Adults will enjoy it. But, not some much the little tykes. Rather, when you make this recipe, bring out the “mac and cheese” and some fresh garden peas for the kids.

Do You Like it Hot? After you’ve made this recipe once, add some chopped hot chili peppers, or hot sauce to the mixture.

Servings: 6

Today’s Hot Pepper Trivia: President Lyndon B. Johnson loved his chili, and he loved it hot. His favorite recipe was called “Pedernales River Chili”, named after his Texas ranch.

Chili Stuffed Peppers Ingredients

6 green, red, or yellow sweet peppers, or 12 sweet banana peppers

1 can (15.5oz.) chili beans

3/4 cup ketchup

1/2 cup whole kernel corn

1/8 teaspoon chili powder

Directions How to Make Chili Stuffed Peppers

Wash peppers. Then, cut the tops off, and remove the seeds and membrane inside.
Rinse the cavity of peppers and set aside.
To make the chili stuffing, in a bowl mix together all the other ingredients.
Stuff the chili stuffing into each pepper.
Set the grill to medium heat.
Place a double sheet of aluminum foil across the grate of the grill.
Place peppers on their side on top of the aluminum foil.
Grill the stuffed peppers for 15 to 20 minutes, turning once.
Remove from heat and serve hot.

Recipe Variation: Some like it hot. And if you like your meals really hot, use hot peppers instead of sweet peppers. Some hot peppers are not big enough to stuff. We suggest you try Hungarian hot peppers.
