"Grilling, broiling, barbecuing - whatever you want to call it - is an art, not just a matter of building a pyre and throwing on a piece of meat as a sacrifice to the gods of the stomach" ~
James Beard
Fired up the grill again today, why turn on a stove when we have warm breezes and sunny skies? Today's menu was inspired by Paula over at It's All Gouda. Ever since she posted her super stuffed peppers, I knew that these babies would make it onto my grill. I put my own twist on these using chicken instead of beef, check Paula's blog for her recipe and directions for assembling and cooking these peppers.
Super Stuffed PeppersMy changes/substitutions:
1 pound ground chicken
1 cup cooked brown rice
3/4 cup corn
3/4 cup black beans
1 small onion, minced
1 cup Sargento's Classic 4 Cheese Mexican
1 beaten egg
1/4 cup BBQ sauce
Salt, to taste
1/2 tsp. fire brick pepper
Chopped fresh parsley
Chili powder
Light basting of BBQ sauce
Note: I did not parboil the peppers, they turned out crisp/tender
I had a 2 pound package of ground chicken, so I also made Super Chicken Burgers with grilled Vidalia Onions
Super Chicken Burgers1 pound ground chicken
1/4 to 1/2 cup seasoned bread crumbs
1 onion, minced
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 tsp. finely chopped fresh thyme
Salt & Fire Brick Pepper, to taste
Mix all ingredients, shape into patties. Grill on each side till done. I lightly basted them with BBQ sauce and left them on the grill for about another minute (each side). The Vidalia onions were basted with equal portions of olive oil and balsamic vinegar, sprinkled with sea salt and grilled.

what a good idea to do stuffed peppers on the grill.
The stuffed peppers look great. As do the burgers. But you know what got me drooling? The grilled onions! I can't help myself. I have always loved onions, in any form. Now that the sweet onions are in the market, I'm definitely going to have to try grilling them.
Thank you Claudia, I am looking forward to warm weather, cooking on the grill .. and fresh produce!

Stuffing brown rice into peppers sounds awesome. I am a brown rice convert and always looking for ways to cook them.
