Ingredients
8 servings
- •4 teaspoons unsalted butter
- •1 onion, chopped
- •1 ½ pounds ground venison
- •1 ½ cups shredded Cheddar cheese, divided
- •1 (6 ounce) box sage stuffing mix
- •1 teaspoon garlic powder
- •½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- •¼ teaspoon salt
- •1 cup heavy whipping cream, or as needed
- •4 large green bell peppers, halved, stems and seeds removed
Instructions
- Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook until softened, 3 to 5 minutes.
- Combine venison, 1/2 the Cheddar cheese, stuffing mix, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt in a bowl. Mix until well blended. Add enough cream to create a thick, doughy texture. Add cooked onions and mix to blend.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a glass baking dish.
- Arrange bell pepper halves in the prepared baking dish, cut-sides up. Form meat mixture into 8 meatballs using your hands. Stuff meatballs into bell pepper halves in the baking dish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 60 minutes. Top with remaining Cheddar cheese and continue baking until melted and starting to brown, about 15 minutes more.
