The first thing I do… prepare all of the ingredients first. Chop the onions and the jalapenos, cook the rice, sauté the jalapeños and the onions with a tablespoon of olive oil.

Cut the tops off of the peppers, making sure to leave the stem attached to use for caps. De-seed the peppers and set aside.

Once ingredients are prepared, add the meat, rice, sautéed onions, jalapenos, beef broth and seasoning (your choice) to a large bowl and mix well. Add the eggs to the mixture and mix well.

Set the peppers on a Bradley Smoker Rack and begin to add the stuffing mixture into the peppers.

“Bradley” Smoking the Peppers:

Once the smoker has reached 220°F and is smoking good, place the racks of peppers and caps on the grate and let them smoke & cook for about 1 hour and 15 minutes (or until they are at the right tenderness). The mix inside the peppers should reach 160°F to ensure the eggs are completely cooked.

I recommend hickory bisquettes but other flavors work well too.

Summary:

Measure out the needed cups of meat, onions, jalapenos, peppers and rice.

Make mixture using recipe above.

Stuff peppers and place on Bradley Smoker racks.

Smoke peppers at 220°F for about 75 minutes or until tender and 160 in center.

When slicing the tops off of the peppers, don’t cut too slim or the stem will separate from the cap.
