Step 2
Make the stuffing: In a large pan on the stovetop over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef, breaking up into small pieces with a wooden spoon, until browned, 8-10 minutes. Add the onion and garlic and sauté until starting to soften, 2-3 minutes. Add the Cajun seasoning, salsa, rice, black beans, and corn and cook until the flavors have melded, about 5 minutes.

Arrange the peppers directly on the grill grates, stuffing-side up, balancing them between the rungs. Close the lid and bake until the peppers are tender, 40 minutes. Sprinkle the cheese evenly over the peppers, then close the lid and bake until the cheese melts, 4 minutes more.
