Did two pulled chuck roasts last week.


I wanted to do some stuffed peppers with some of this meat. As we were coming back thru Georgia from our trip to North Carolina, I spotted these Cubanelle peppers at a local veggie stand.


Opened them up with a knife and scrapped out some of the webbing and most of the seeds. The gal said these were not hot peppers, so my wife added some of our chopped banana peppers, onions and a small can of rotel chili sauce to a small box of red beans and rice.


After warming it up we scooped the mixture along with some added chuckie into the peppers.


Added three strips of bacon around each pepper and sprinkle them with some Redneck Seasonings


Thru them in the smoker at 250º and figured around 1 3/4 to 2 hours of time. Used Cherry and Peach Wood for the smoke.


Cher tossed some Havarti cheese on them and microwaved to melt it a bit.

OUTSTANDING. If I can find these peppers around here, no more Pablanos for me. They were excellent.

my experience with cubanelles have been pretty positive. I grew a snot-load of them in a pot a couple years ago and are now a staple in my small garden. Haven't had much luck with bell peppers surprisingly in the last couple years.

looks like i have another use for them, because your pics look delicious!

 Any suggestion on soil conditions? I actually ordered some seeds and will be trying to grow them myself this coming season.
 
I didn't do anything special to the soil to grow these, though I bet they would like the typical pepper preps: looser, well draining dirt, mixed with something like compost or peat moss for the top 4-6", use small amounts of balanced fertilizer, both when planting and after fruiting.

Direct sunlight like most peppers, more the better.

They don't seem to be too fussy, at least in my experience, but a few little things and I'm pretty sure you'll do well.
