David,
We make these all the time.
ground beef or mixed with fresh pork
tomatoes chopped fine
cooked rice
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp ground pepper
bread crumbs
salt
1 or 2 eggs (to bind)
uncooked bacon stips
Mix the above amounts measured to fill the peppers. Remove tops of the peppers and cook in water till 3/4 done. Cool and stuff with the above meat mixture. Dabble tomato catsup on top, sprinkle with sugar and then place bacon on top of that - crossed. Smoke until done (155 degrees or 165 if using pork) with two oz of wood.
Enjoy
