Deer meat stuffed peppers with sage, garlic, and melted Cheddar - a unique and flavorful twist on a classic dish.
Ingredients:
  • 4 teaspoons unsalted butter
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1.5 pounds ground venison
  • 1.5 cups shredded Cheddar cheese, divided
  • 1 (6 ounce) box sage stuffing mix
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 0.25 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream, or as needed
  • 4 large green bell peppers, halved, stems and seeds removed
Instructions:
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a glass baking dish by greasing it.
  • In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Sauté onion in the melted butter until softened, for about 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
  • In a large bowl, mix together venison, 3/4 cup of Cheddar cheese, stuffing mix, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt until well combined. Stir in cream gradually until a thick, doughy texture forms. Finally, incorporate cooked onions and mix until fully blended.
  • Place bell pepper halves, cut-sides up, in the baking dish. Shape the meat mixture into 8 meatballs by hand and then stuff them into the bell pepper halves.
  • After baking for 1 hour, sprinkle the remaining 3/4 cup of Cheddar cheese on top and bake for an additional 15 minutes or until the cheese is melted and golden brown.
