Bison-Stuffed Poblano Peppers

Submitted by barrdbarrbarr

"I came up with this recipe while trying to decide how to use a 650 gram tray of lean ground bison. The beauty of this recipe is that you can use any ground meat and any type of stuffable pepper. I actually stuffed two poblanos, a red bell pepper and a yellow bell pepper. This turned out so good that I decided to share the recipe. I served it with Mom's Best Skillet Cornbread, recipe #153414."

This turned out super tasty! Cook time and temps were spot on. Only change we would make is a bit less liquid smoke. Aside from that, we have happy tummies.
