Smoked Stuffed Bells

[westexasmoker]

The wife wanted some stuffed bell peppers!  If I had thought ahead I would have thawed out a fattie for this.  Browned about a pound of ground sirloin, sauted onion, garlic, salt, pepper mixed in some wild rice.  Layer of cheddar in the bottom of the pepper, then meat/rice, layer of diced tomatos another layer of meat/rice and another layer of cheddar topped with sliced swiss and bacon.



Off to the smoker, for a couple of hours till the bacon crisped up and dinner time!



I planned on getting a pic of one sliced open, but I could'nt put the fork down long enough to grab the camera!  ;D

Looks great WTS!  ;)

I just got done frying up a wack of bacon I just finished this week. I used a butt this time, just because I have never tried it. It turned out really good. A little too little flavor for me but everybody else loved it.

I basically used Habs Canadian Bacon recipe except I used a butt. I trimmed & deboned the butt and cut it horizontally in half. Then I rubbed them down according to Habs recipes and vac packed them. I curred them for 14 days. I allowed the longer cure time because of the fat content. Next I gave them a 1/2 hour soak in water then let them dry in the fridge for a day. The next day I hit them with 3 hours of hickory then took the IT up to 152 degrees. Next I wrapped in plastic and in the fridge for 2 days, then sliced. I would say it turned out to be somewhere in between Canadian Bacon and Belly Bacon. There's more fat in this so when you fry it, it's more like frying traditional bacon. My batch turned out good but I would have preferred it a little stronger flavored.
