Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb mini bell peppers
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 4 strips cooked bacon, crumbled
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ¼ tsp kosher salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, mix the cream cheese, cheddar, bacon, green onions, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  3. Halve the mini bell peppers lengthwise and remove seeds, keeping stems intact.
  4. Spoon the filling into each pepper half, pressing gently, and arrange on the prepared sheet.
  5. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until cheese is melted and golden. Serve warm.

Notes

For a deeply golden, bubbly top, broil the peppers for 1 to 2 minutes after baking, watching carefully so the cheese doesn’t burn.
