#LiquidGold5 BBQ beans bell pepper broccoli brown rice cheesy chicken chili football grilled main dish recipe stuffed tailgate Velveeta

Chili Cheese Grilled and Stuffed Bell Peppers

This post is sponsored by VELVEETA® . All opinions are my own.

Chili Cheese Grilled and Stuffed Bell Peppers #LiquidGold5 with VELVEETA (ad) - Mama Harris' KitchenAt the beginning of the month we made it official and furnished our backyard. We’ve been spending so much of our time outside, whether gardening or grilling, so why not make it as comfortable as possible? Since then we find ourselves gravitating to our backyard more often. Whether it’s in the mornings to enjoy our morning coffee or in the evenings after dinner just to get some fresh air. We’ve also been grilling a lot more often than past summers, but nobody is complaining! We keep the house cool, get fresh air, and no need to turn on the oven. I’d call that a win/win!

Chili Cheese Grilled and Stuffed Bell Peppers #LiquidGold5 with VELVEETA (ad) - Mama Harris' KitchenWhen we are entertaining, one of my favorite dips to serve is a combination of VELVEETA® and some good chili. It’s the perfect dip with tortilla chips and you can find all my guests by the dip every time. I decided why not mash up my favorite dip with one of my husband’s favorite meals and create a recipe for chili cheese grilled and stuffed bell peppers? And since we are smack dab in the middle of grilling season, why not throw them on the grill instead of heating up my kitchen with the stove? It was brilliant! It had all the flavors we love without being weird and overpowering. There was chili and cheese. There was chicken, broccoli and bell peppers and there were beans and rice. Delicious!

Chili Cheese Grilled and Stuffed Bell Peppers #LiquidGold5 with VELVEETA (ad) - Mama Harris' KitchenI love to make my stuffed peppers with those rice pouch mixes; it’s just so easy and quick to put together. For this one, I used a brown and wild rice mix, and for the chili I used a vegetarian chili since I also chopped up some chicken. Since RiRi is a vegetarian, the vegetarian chili also served me well and for hers I replaced the chicken with chopped up mushrooms.

Chili Cheese Grilled and Stuffed Bell Peppers #LiquidGold5 with VELVEETA (ad) - Mama Harris' KitchenNot only did I top the peppers with chopped VELVEETA®, but it’s also mixed in all over the filling. It gives you a great chili cheese flavor inside of stuffed peppers. I know this is traditionally a comfort food served in colder months, but why not bend the rules a bit? Chili cheese on the grill is a classic summertime favorite! Besides, I’m in California, we can grill pretty much year round!

The measurements worked out pretty well, the filling is just the right amount for six stuffed peppers, and I go ahead and grill the tops too. In the end I covered the peppers with the tops and it helped the cheese melt. It’s so cute to serve them with the tops too! We grilled some buttered French bread and served that on the side with the stuffed peppers for a filling weeknight dinner. The six ounces of VELVEETA® was just the right amount too, I actually added less to the filling and towards the end of the grilling I added some more VELVEETA® to the top to melt. Each stuffed pepper had about 1 ounce of VELVEETA®, which just so happens to be the recommended serving size!

Ingredients for Chili Cheese Grilled and Stuffed Bell Peppers:

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced
  • salt and pepper
  • 2 cups prepared brown & wild rice mix
  • 2 cups prepared (or canned) vegetarian chili
  • 1 cup broccoli florets, stems cut off
  • 6 bell peppers in red, yellow and green
  • 6 ounces VELVEETA® brick, sliced in small pieces

Directions:

Chili Cheese Grilled and Stuffed Bell Peppers #LiquidGold5 with VELVEETA (ad) - Mama Harris' KitchenBegin by browning the chicken with a bit of salt and pepper. Add the cooked rice and the broccoli, lightly sauté.

Chili Cheese Grilled and Stuffed Bell Peppers #LiquidGold5 with VELVEETA (ad) - Mama Harris' KitchenAdd the chili and stir well. Continue to heat through till broccoli is slightly tender.

Chili Cheese Grilled and Stuffed Bell Peppers #LiquidGold5 with VELVEETA (ad) - Mama Harris' KitchenMeanwhile, cut off the tops of your bell peppers and remove the seeds. If necessary, cut the bottoms in a small, thin line if needed for them to stand upright.

Chili Cheese Grilled and Stuffed Bell Peppers #LiquidGold5 with VELVEETA (ad) - Mama Harris' KitchenNow stuff your peppers! Do about a tablespoon at a time, sprinkling with small pieces of the VELVEETA® all throughout, between each tablespoon of filling – using about 4 tablespoons.

Chili Cheese Grilled and Stuffed Bell Peppers #LiquidGold5 with VELVEETA (ad) - Mama Harris' KitchenTop with a few more slices, reserving about 2 ounces to top it with while on the grill.

Chili Cheese Grilled and Stuffed Bell Peppers #LiquidGold5 with VELVEETA (ad) - Mama Harris' KitchenHeat your grill on a medium/low heat, being sure to brush the racks with oil so they don’t stick. If using charcoal, heat your coals on one side of the grill, and place the peppers on the cooler half. The heat should be about 300 degrees. Place the tops on the top rack, and let cook for about 30 minutes.

Chili Cheese Grilled and Stuffed Bell Peppers #LiquidGold5 with VELVEETA (ad) - Mama Harris' KitchenSince the filling is precooked, you’re just waiting for the peppers to cook and the VELVEETA® to melt.

Chili Cheese Grilled and Stuffed Bell Peppers #LiquidGold5 with VELVEETA (ad) - Mama Harris' KitchenAbout 15 minutes into the grill time, add the remaining 2 ounces of VELVEETA®, then cover with the tops to help it melt.

Chili Cheese Grilled and Stuffed Bell Peppers #LiquidGold5 with VELVEETA (ad) - Mama Harris' KitchenThe peppers are done once they are mostly soft, but still firm enough to hold their shape. If cut into, they are no longer crisp, instead they’re soft, and pliable.

Chili Cheese Grilled and Stuffed Bell Peppers #LiquidGold5 with VELVEETA (ad) - Mama Harris' KitchenServe with toasted bread. I just cut a French loaf in half and buttered it, then added it to the grill about 5-10 minutes before the peppers were done.

      In the instructions I mentioned my daughter is a vegetarian. Instead of chicken I added chopped mushrooms for hers and she loved it too!

(AD) There has been a lot of cooking going on this year, so I’ve tried to make life a bit easier by getting creative with my leftovers. These pulled pork totchos are a great example of leftovers with a few key ingredients to create something new to keep our meals exciting. Adding a few key ingredients like @lamorenausa adobo peppers and jalapeños and carrots definitely livens up something simple. La Morena peppers are hand selected, using only the highest quality peppers to bring you authentic home style flavors of Mexico. I purchased my La Morena items from my local Safeway, but you can find them at your favorite grocery store in the international food section. #PayItForwardwithLM #VivaLaMorena #WeCanWithLaMorena 
 
INGREDIENTS:
- 32 oz tater tots
- 2 cups shredded cheese (Mexican blend + Pepper Jack)
- 2 cups prepared bbq pulled pork (check my pulled pork sliders recipe!)
- 1/2 can La Morena Adobo Peppers & Sauce
- 2 tablespoons sour cream 
- 2 tablespoons ranch dressing
- 1 cup pico de Gallo
- 1/2 cup guacamole
- 3 chopped green onions 
- 3-4 La Morena jalapeños and carrots, sliced

INSTRUCTIONS:
Prepare tater tots as instructed, in air fryer or oven. Heat oven to 450°. 
Cover the bottom of a large cast iron skillet with the cooked tater tots. 
Top with 1 1/2 cup of cheese. 
Combine the chopped adobo peppers and sauce with the prepared bbq pulled pork. Spread the pulled pork mixture on top of the tater tots, then top with the remaining cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 5 minutes.
Top with sour cream, ranch, pico de Gallo, guacamole, green onions, and sliced jalapeños and carrots.

Enjoy!! 😋

Hello Instagram fam! 💖 There’s some new faces around here and it’s been a while since I showed mine!

I’m Dawn, creator of Mama Harris’ Kitchen, and I’m so glad you’re here with me! In this space I share my family-friendly recipes for all occasions, whether it be a 30-minute meal for those busy weeknight dinners or a full spread for entertaining a crowd - and everything in between.

Mama Harris’ Kitchen began back in 2012, in fact it’s 8 years this month! 🥳  What started as a way to document my newfound cooking hobby while managing my “new” life as a stay-at-home wife and mom to a 1 and 3 year along with teens and preteens, and it quickly grew into what it is now - a recipe resource for busy families like mine that enjoy flavorful and comforting home-cooking using pantry staples along with fresh and local ingredients as often as possible. 

🍿Five fun facts about me:
1. I LOVE elephants! 🐘 I collect a lot of elephant items, whether it’s trinkets or  artwork, notepads etc. I love what elephants symbolize and I truly love anything elephant related.
2. I’m a total plant lady! 🌱 I have about 35 houseplants, give or take, and there’s still more on the list of wants. Plants have become such a peaceful outlet for me, and I feel that they really center me within my space. I love the element plants bring to your space and the feel of your home with them in it, and new leaves are so exciting!
3. I have seven tattoos and I have plans for about eight more. 💉 Those that know me aren’t surprised, but those that follow me here tend to find it a bit surprising. 🙃
4. I’ve been a mother for a long time, over half my life! I’ve also been a lot of different “types” of mom - teen mom, single mom, working mom, stepmom, stay at home mom, PROUD mom, military mom, mother in law - the list goes on. No matter what, motherhood looks different for everyone and there’s unique challenges and experiences each mother faces. Please be gentle with yourself! ❤️At the end of the day we’re all just trying our best!
5. I’m a bit of an introvert, and often struggle with the “social” aspect of social media. I tend to go silent sometimes, but I’m working on it.

☀️Thank you for joining me here!
