Venison Stuffed Peppers Recipes

VENISON STUFFED PEPPERS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375F.
• Start by heating the olive oil over medium heat in a large skillet. Then, add the onion and saute for about 5-7 minutes, until lightly browned.
• Then, add the ground venison and brown, this takes about 8 minutes. Add the garlic, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Brown for an additional 3-4 minutes to give the spices a chance to release flavor.
• Next, add the red wine vinegar and deglaze the pan. Then, stir in the rice and tomato sauce. Remove the filling from the heat.
• Cut the tops off of the 8 peppers and remove the seeds. Place the peppers in a large baking dish (any size that fits all the peppers works), and stuff with the venison mixture.
• Bake for 30 minutes, until the peppers are soft.
• If desired, top with parmesan and fresh parsley.

Combine the diced tomatoes, oregano, garlic and salt and continue cooking until browned. Remove from heat.
• In a bowl, stir together the cooked quinoa, venison and the 1/2 cup El Pato Jalapeno Sauce.

Top each stuffed bell pepper with the farmstyle shredded cheddar jack cheese and the remaining jalapeno sauce.
• Bake in 375°F oven for 40-45 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley.

• 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.

VENISON INSTANT POT TACO STUFFED PEPPERS

Steps:

• Start by making the filling for the peppers.
• Turn the Instant Pot to "saute" for 20 minutes. Add the olive oil.
• When the pot is hot, add the onion and saute for 3-5 minutes until it starts to brown.
• Then, add the jalapenos, and venison, and saute for 5 minutes, and then add the garlic, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Saute for another 5 minutes until the meat is cooked.
• Add the apple cider vinegar, tomatoes and tomato sauce. Cook for 5 more minutes, or until the saute cycle runs out.
• While the filling cooks, cut the tops off of the peppers and scoop out the seeds.
• When the filling has cooked, spoon the filling inside of each of the peppers, stuffing them full.
• Clean out the inside of the pot, and return it to the Instant Pot. Place the rack in the Instant Pot, as well and pour in the water.
• Arrange the stuffed peppers on the rack in the Instant Pot. Put on and close the lid and turn the valve to the sealing position.
• Select "Manual" or "Pressure Cook" on high and turn the time to 5 minutes. Let the cycle run and let the peppers naturally release for 5 minutes, before performing a manual release.
• While the peppers cook, combine the egg, egg yolk, lime juice, Dijon, salt, chipotle powder, garlic powder, chili powder, onion powder, and cumin in a blender.
• Turn the blender on and stream in the olive oil slowly. The mixture will emulsify and turn into a delicious aioli.
• Serve the peppers with the aioli on top and any desired taco toppings - like lettuce, tomato, cilantro, avocado, etc.
