Meatloaf Stuffed Bell Peppers Wrapped in Bacon

Ingredients

• 1lb. package meatloaf mix
• 1 medium sweet onion chopped fine
• 1 large jalapeno chopped fine
• 1 shallot chopped fine
• 1 ½ C. shredded cheddar cheese
• ½ C. BBQ sauce (we recommend BBQ Bob’s Original sauce)
• 2 eggs beaten
• 1 tsp. kosher salt
• ¼ tsp. black pepper
• ¼ tsp. garlic powder
• 1 tsp. BBQ Bob’s Alpha Rub
• ½ C. cool water
• 4-6 large yellow bell peppers (substitute any color you like)
• 1 lb. thin bacon (thick cut doesn’t stretch to wrap properly)
• toothpicks

Preparation

1. Mix ground meat with all other ingredients (except bell peppers and bacon) in a large bowl and blend well with hands.
2. Cut the tops off each bell pepper keeping the stem in-tact and remove seeds.
3. Stuff meatloaf into each pepper and toothpick the tops back on the peppers. Usually 2-3 toothpicks do the trick for each pepper.
4. Wrap each pepper with about 4 strips of bacon and place on the grill over indirect heat for approx. 30 minutes at 300°F or until the internal temp reaches 160° and the bacon has rendered. Slice and serve.
