Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb Mini Sweet Peppers
  • 8 oz Cream Cheese, softened
  • 1 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese
  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Onion Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Smoked Paprika
  • 2 tbsp Fresh Chives, chopped
  • Salt and Pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup Cooked Bacon Bits (optional)

Method
 

  1. Wash and dry the mini sweet peppers. Cut them in half lengthwise or remove the tops and seeds.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, shredded cheddar, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and chives. Mix until smooth.
  3. Fill each pepper with the cheese mixture using a spoon or piping bag.
  4. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Arrange the stuffed peppers on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  5. Bake for 10-12 minutes until the peppers are tender and the cheese is bubbly.
  6. Let cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with extra chives if desired.

Notes

Ensure cream cheese is softened for easy mixing. Use a piping bag for cleaner filling. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
