Bacon Wrapped Stuffed Hatch Peppers
Bacon Wrapped Stuffed Hatch Peppers are made by filling seed-removed hatch chile halves with a well-seasoned mixture of cream cheese and shredded cheddar, then wrapping each with a slice of bacon. Cooking options include oven baking, air frying, or grilling, which crisps the bacon and softens the peppers without direct flame contact. The creamy, cheesy filling contrasts with the smoky, crisp bacon while the hatch peppers provide mild heat and a fresh pepper flavor.
