Ingredients
- Nonstick cooking spray, for the baking pan
- 1 pound mini bell peppers
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 1/2 cups shredded sharp Cheddar
- 5 slices crispy cooked bacon, finely chopped
- 2 teaspoons finely chopped Fresno pepper
- 1 tablespoon milk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a large rimmed baking pan with foil and spray lightly with cooking spray.
- Cut the peppers in half lengthwise and remove the ribs and seeds. Arrange the peppers on the prepared baking pan cut-side up.
- Mix the cream cheese, Cheddar, bacon, Fresno pepper and milk together in a bowl until very well mixed and soft.
- Put the mixture into a resealable plastic bag (or a disposable pastry bag) and snip a corner to make an opening a little less than 1/2-inch across. Pipe a line of the cream cheese mixture into each of the peppers (the filling should not fill the whole pepper; it will spread as it cooks).
- Bake until the peppers are tender and the filling is melted, about 15 minutes. Serve hot.

Added about 1/4 cup goat cheese, chopped scallions. I used real bacon bits. Baked 20 min not 15. Came out excellent
Put these on our pit smoker and added bacon over the cheese. Deeeelish!!
Because it’s what I do, I changed it a touch but pretty much this recipe. This is my new go to for company. Shoot. I just ate it for lunch. To. Die. For.
I have made these several times, each time slightly different and each time a hit! This last time we used Siracha and they went fast!!
Easy and delish!
Easy and delicious!
Very versatile recipe.
I added scallions and celery just because I had them in my fridge.

Can still enjoy the taste with some chopped jalapeno without the old stomach problems. Thank you.
I kept them raw…didn’t bake. Loved them!

Made these to eat with my salad and they were delicious!
