Blackstone Italian Orzo and Peppers is kind of like my version of “unstuffed” peppers made on the griddle.

I may be weird, but I always make stuffed peppers recipe with orzo in place of rice.

How to make Blackstone Italian Orzo and Peppers

First boil a cup of dry orzo pasta according to the package directions, drain, and rinse with cold water.

Then preheat your Blackstone or flat top griddle to medium.

Add cooking oil of choice, sliced red and yellow peppers, kosher salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.

Cook the peppers for about 2 minutes, mixing with spatulas.

Next add a pound of ground Italian sausage to an empty space on your griddle.

Cook both the sausage and peppers for 5 minutes, breaking apart the sausage, and continue mixing the peppers.

Combine the sausage and peppers on the griddle with your spatulas.

Then add the cooked orzo and garlic.

Mix everything together on the griddle for 2 minutes.

Add marinara sauce, kosher salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning and cook another 2 minutes, mixing together.

Serve Blackstone Italian Orzo and Peppers with fresh basil and parmesan cheese over top 🙂

We also enjoyed this dish with garlic toast!
