One of the local grocery stores here had elk on sale and I jumped on the opportunity to try it for the first time. I decided I had a few green bell peppers in the fridge begging to be made into stuffed peppers.
I made it in the slow cooker which only allowed me to make 3 of the 4 stuffed peppers I made. I put the extra one in the freezer to make when I'm making stuffed peppers again.
***You can use any color of bell pepper for this dish. It would be delicious with any of them. I just choose green because it was on sale.***
The recipe is:
1 pound ground elk
1/2 onion, diced
2 cups cooked rice
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 (15 oz cans) diced tomatoes, not drained
1 (15 oz can) stewed tomatoes, not drained
dash of salt
dash of pepper
dash of garlic powder
dash of onion powder
I mixed the elk, rice, and spices together. Then I stuffed 4 large bell peppers.
Put one of the diced tomato cans on the bottom of the slow cooker. Then put the peppers in. Pour the rest of the diced tomatoes and stewed tomatoes on top.
Cook for 8 hours on low.
Enjoy!!!!
