How to make cream cheese stuffed peppers with bacon

• Clean the peppers and cut them in half. Remove the seeds from the pepper halves and keep them aside.
• Cream the cream cheese with a mixer until it is softened. Toss in the ranch seasoning and stir to mix. Combine the bacon, onions, and shredded cheese in a mixing bowl.
• Fill each half of a pepper with the cream cheese mixture. Place on prepared baking sheet and top with additional shredded cheese.
• Bake at 400°F for 5-7 minutes, or until cheese is melted. Warm the dish before serving.

Can I make these in the air fryer?

Yes, follow the steps for preparing and stuffing the peppers. Place the stuffed peppers in the air fryer basket and top with cheese. Cook for about 3 minutes at 380°F, or until the cheese has melted.

Can you make these ahead of time?

Yes, if you’re making them for a party, you can make them ahead of time. Fill the peppers with the stuffing as directed. Refrigerate overnight, covered with plastic wrap or in an airtight container.

Top with grated cheese and bake according to package directions when ready to serve.

Recipe tips

Allow the cream cheese to soften at room temperature before using. This aids in the creation of a creamy texture.

If the peppers are overstuffed, the filling will spill out when roasted. Because each pepper is different in size, it’s difficult to specify a precise number, but stuff the peppers to the top of the opening.

How to store stuffed mini peppers

Allow to cool completely before storing in an airtight jar in the fridge for up to 3 days. Heat in the oven, microwave, or air fryer until hot.

Recipe variations

• A number of items can be put inside little peppers. Here are a couple more of our favorite pairings.
• Cooked, crumbled Italian sausage and mozzarella cheese can be substituted for the bacon. 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning can be used in place of ranch dressing. Dip in marinara sauce of your choice.
• Use shredded chicken or ground beef, cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, and taco seasoning for a Mexican-inspired dish.
• Ground turkey, cream cheese, Greek seasoning blend, and goat cheese are used in this recipe.

Expert tips

• Make sure the cream cheese is softened at room temperature before mixing it in with the rest of the filling ingredients. Leave the cream cheese on the counter for 30 to 60 minutes, or until you can easily press an indent with your finger. In the microwave, I do not advocate softening.
• Using parchment paper to line your baking sheet makes it easier to clean up and prevents any cream cheese filling from sticking to the pan.
• Does your oven have a hot spot? To achieve a uniform roasting, rotate your baking sheets halfway through.
• Make all of the processes up to the point of baking in the oven ahead of time and store the little peppers in the refrigerated until ready to bake.
