Ingredients

  • 12 mini peppers

US Customary - Metric

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.
