Serves: 2 - 4

Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook time: 45 minutes

Indirect Heat: 400F - 450F

What you'll need:

• 2 peppers (green bell, sweet red, yellow or orange)
  
  
• 14 slices cooked bacon crumbled (microwave bacon is quick and easy for this recipe)
• 1 cup fresh grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 cloves garlic chopped
• 1 diced jalapeno pepper (seeds removed)
• 1 tablespoon grated lemon rind
• 1 slice of bread broken into small chunks
• 1 green onion chopped
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (for topping)

Step 1:
Combine the stuffed pepper ingredients in a large mixing bowl.

Mix the ingredients well.

---

Step 2:
Slice the top off each of the bell peppers and remove the pulp and seeds.

Slice each pepper in half and remove any remaining seeds and pulp.

---

Step 3:
Preheat the grill to 400F - 450F and set up for indirect grilling.

Place the sliced bell peppers in an aluminum pan and fill each one with the stuffing.

Press the stuffing into the pepper to make sure it's secure.

Cover the pan with foil and place it on the grill for indirect cooking (the upper warming rack works well for this).

Close the lid and let cook for 40 minutes.
After about 40 minutes remove the foil and cover the stuffed peppers with shredded mozzarella cheese.

Close the lid and let cook until the cheese is melted and browning, another 5 minutes or so.

Enjoy!
