Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Savory Venison-Stuffed Bell Peppers.
Step 1
Begin by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C) and generously grease a glass baking dish to ensure easy cleanup.
Step 2
In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat, then toss in the chopped onion, sautéing until it softens and becomes fragrant, which should take about 3 to 5 minutes.
Step 3
Once done, remove the skillet from heat and set the onions aside.
Step 4
In a spacious mixing bowl, combine ground venison with 3/4 cup of shredded Cheddar cheese, sage stuffing mix, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt.
Step 5
Mix these ingredients thoroughly, then gradually incorporate enough heavy whipping cream to achieve a thick, doughy texture.
Step 6
Fold in the sautéed onions until everything is well blended.
Step 7
Next, take halved bell peppers and place them cut-side up in your prepared baking dish.
Step 8
Shape the venison mixture into eight meatballs and gently stuff them into the bell pepper halves.
Step 9
Slide the dish into your preheated oven and let it bake for one hour.
Step 10
Once the time is up, sprinkle the remaining 3/4 cup of Cheddar cheese over the stuffed peppers and return them to the oven for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese is beautifully melted and lightly browned.
Step 11
Enjoy the delightful aroma as your dish transforms into a comforting meal that’s sure to impress!.
