Stuffed Mini Peppers
Description: These savory cream cheese and bacon stuffed mini peppers will make even the pickiest of pepper eaters, pick up another!
Ingredients
- 12 mini peppers
- 8 ounces cream cheese (softened)
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- 1 clove garlic (minced)
- 3 green onions (chopped)
- 5 pieces bacon (cooked and crumbled)
- 1/2 cup mozzarella (shredded)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 F, and prep a rimmed baking sheet (I use parchment paper for easy clean up). Cut the bell peppers (12) in half, and remove the seeds. I prefer to keep the stems on, as it makes these easier to eat.
- In a large bowl, whip the cream cheese (8 ounces) until it's light and fluffy using an electric mixer. Stir in the Italian seasoning (2 teaspoons), garlic (1 clove), green onions (3), bacon (5 pieces), and mozzarella (1/2 cup) until well combined.
- Use a spatula to stuff the bell peppers with filling, I add enough so the filling is level with the mini bell peppers. Know that bell peppers vary in size, so you may have leftover filling.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the mini peppers have softened to your liking. Enjoy!
