BBQ Pork & Pasta Stuffed Green Peppers image

I had some pork from Recipe#406664. And wanted to do something different with the leftovers, so I came up with this recipe. Please feel free to use whatever BBQ sauce you like. This recipe looks alot more complicated than it really is.Submitted to " ZAAR " on January 27th, 2010.

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 large green bell peppers, cut in half lengthwise
3/4 cup uncooked elbow macaroni
1 1/2 cups leftover cooked pork
3/4 cup barbecue sauce, I used Sweet Baby Ray's Hickory and Brown Sugar
1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese, divided

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • While oven is heating up, cut peppers in half lengthwise and remove seeds and membrane.
  • Also while oven is heating up, boil water for pasta.
  • When water starts to boil, add pasta and cook till almost al dente'.
  • In a separate pot large enough to hold cut peppers, add 4 cups of water and start boiling over medium heat.
  • Add peppers and cook until peppers are slightly tender,drain.
  • Mix together cooked pasta, pork, and BBQ sauce. ( at this time you can add more sauce if you think you want it "saucier " ).
  • Divide pork/pasta mixture evenly between peppers, top each pepper with 1/8 cup of cheese.
  • Place into a 11 x 9 inch dish that has been lined with aluminum foil and bake for about 25 minute or until filling is heated through and cheese is melted.
