Step
1
Rinse each pepper well with cold running water. Cut each in half lengthwise, through the stem, and remove the seeds and ribs with a paring knife.
2
Make the stuffing: Brown the ground beef in a large frying pan, breaking it up with a wooden spoon.
3
Add the onion and garlic and saute for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the Traeger Cajun Rub, salsa, rice, black beans, and corn, and cook until the flavors are blended, about 5 minutes. Fill each pepper half with the stuffing.
4
When ready to cook, set the temperature to 350F and preheat, lid closed, for 10 to 15 minutes.
5
Arrange the peppers on the grill grate, stuffing side up, balancing them between the rungs. Bake for 40 minutes.
6
Sprinkle the grated cheese evenly over the peppers. Bake for 5 minutes more, or until the cheese is melted. Enjoy!
