Notes
Storage
- Refrigerate for up to 3 days in an airtight container.
- Brisket lasts for about 4 days in the refrigerator. Adjust your stuffed pepper storage time according to when you made the brisket.
- My crock pot BBQ beef brisket is perfect for this recipe because the beef and sauce are already combined. Save a little time!
- When cutting off the tops of the peppers, go down just far enough to make a nice opening along them. Don't cut away too much!
- For even more flavor, dice the removed portions of the peppers and mix them into the filling.
- Wash your hands thoroughly after handling the peppers, and never touch your face.
