Ingredients
- 6 slices bacon, cut into small pieces
- ⅓ cup minced shallots
- 1 red bell pepper, minced
- 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 32 ounces pepperoncini
Instructions
- In a large skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until bacon is browned. Move bacon to paper towels. Keep bacon drippings.
- In drippings, cook shallots and red pepper over medium heat until vegetables are tender. Cook about 5 minutes. Remove skillet from heat and let cool for 20 minutes.
- In a small bowl, beat cream cheese and milk with an electric mixer at medium speed until smooth. Stir bacon and shallot into the mixture.
- Spoon cream cheese mixture into a heavy weight plastic bag. Cut a small hole in one corner to squeeze the filling from. With small knife, cut a slit lengthwise into each pepper. Do not cut the whole way through the pepper. By squeezing the bag, pipe cream cheese mixture into peppers. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, up to one day.

Time consuming?? If so then chop up bacon shallots etc. cook them together or in the oven so you can prep the peppers & mix the cheese same time . Yes use a food processor. I am worried when this grand mom hears people saying homemade is time consuming…. Yes lil peppers to stuff each are but put your thinking caps on don’t throw the recipe away chop the peppers add to the wonderful cream cheese and you have a mellow spiked Fantastic Dip. 1 hour to make that many servings what are you expecting before even doing the Recipe!!
Good but I found stuffing these very difficult. The bacon didn’t come through very well so after tasting the first few, I easily doubled or tripled the amount of bacon.
Super easy to make, just as directed. The only change I made was to cut the tops off the peppers. This made them easy to fill. They went quick, so, make enough. I will make them again.
Wow! These are amazing and I didn’t find them tedious to make at all. I chopped the tops off, de ribbed them, & let them drain. While they were draining I made the filling. I had some left over filling but just put it in a bowl with some gourmet crackers and those were gone in 60 seconds! Thanks all recipes!
Huge hit at office party!
i made no changes and it was a big hit. I personally loved it. the filling was also good with crackers
Making this again today! I followed recipe as is and it was delicious!!
I bet they are great with the bacon and peppers. I make mine slightly different.. but the basics are the same. For anyone that gave a low rating, try this. I use pepperoni and/or hard salami chopped very fine instead of bacon, and instead of peppers, i use sun dried tomatoes and a bit of onion, again,chopped fine. Has much the same look as above, but maybe milder? I cut the pepperoncinis in half and fill, then chill. Smaller bites than filling the whole thing. These really are a hit when you take them to a party!
Incredible. It took some time to prepare, but well worth it!
these were really good, funny i just saw this and thought i’m going to make it, thought i had to bake them but found out i didn’t have too! I ha a lot of the filling left so i put that in a small bowl and used it as a dip as well. It was a hit
4 stars for difficulty, 5 stars for flavor! One of our favorites to eat! I prep the filling the day before, makes the process less daunting.
Made these for potluck at work. I cut the end off, piped the filling in and dipped the end into shredded Parmesan. Complete hit.
Quick, easy and mix fills many peppers depending on the size of the pepper. I like this recipe because you can make as many as you want and they will stay fresh for a day – or so! I recommend using a thicker bag to pipe mixture from just to keep the end result clean and pretty.
This is great treat!! Used Greek yogurt for lower calories!
I used those little baby orange and yellow peppers in a bag and baked them. delicious. don’t like pepperoncini – it was a hit.
Skipped the plastic bag part and just spooned the mixture into the peppers. Everyone asked for the recipe.
Super easy to make and turned out great!
These are so easy and so good!!! I had leftover mixture that I served with crackers. A definite keeper with 5 stars!
Yum! Lots of compliments…i use a cake decorating bag to fill peppers quickly.
My friend Guy (picky food gourmand) said “these are perfect. just the right amount of heat without overpowering the other tastes”.
Great recipe. We also made half without the bacon and added some Romano cheese for a counterpoint. Since we had some crab we made the recipe and added crab. Great idea, one of my favorite appetizers for summer.
