There’s always some new way to cook up a tasty meal or finger food. These Brisket Stuffed Peppers are just the thing for your next party or family night. They’re simple to make and packed with tons of flavor. Make a big platter of these and they’ll be gobbled up so fast you won’t know what happened.
This recipe is a fun, unique take on brisket. It doesn’t take long to make and is a great way to use leftovers. I wanted to try it to see how well the peppers, brisket, and other flavors worked together to make a tasty snack. Let’s get started.
I fired up my Traeger Pellet Grill with Hickory Pellets to 375 degrees F to cook these stuffed peppers.
I recorded a video of this recipe. If you’d like to watch how I made it, go over to my Youtube channel and follow along.
I got a big bite and…delicious! The flavor of that brisket mixed with the cream cheese and cheddar cheese was perfect. And the beef rub added a ton of extra taste and a little bit of heat to the whole thing. The sweet rub on the outside gave it some barbecue flavor, too. Boy, these are flat out taste bombs.
Most people will eat 2-3 of them while they’re mingling at a party or watching a football game.
Honestly, I’ve never had any of these left. However, they’d keep well if you put them in an airtight container and stored them in the fridge for up to 3 days.
