Ingredients
- 16 ounces mini sweet peppers about 16 to 18 peppers
- 8 ounces cream cheese softened
- ½ cup sour cream
- ¾ cup grated cheddar
- ⅓ cup bacon bits or crumbles
- 1 to 2 to 2 tablespoons Sriracha spicy to taste
Garnish
- 1 pinch smoked paprika
- 1 to 2 to 2 teaspoons dried chives chopped or dried, or fresh chopped cilantro
Instructions
- Slice 16 ounces mini sweet peppers in half by cutting them lengthwise with a sharp knife and remove the seeds and membrane inside the peppers.
- In a large bowl, use a spoon to mix together 8 ounces cream cheese, 1/2 cup sour cream, 3/4 cup grated cheddar, 1/3 cup bacon bits or crumbles and 1 to 2 tablespoons sriracha. Mix until the filling is well combined, with uniform color.
- Using a teaspoon, stuff the peppers with the spicy cream cheese mix. Use about 2-3 full teaspoons per pepper (depending on pepper size).
- Garnish peppers with 1 pinch smoked paprika, and sprinkle 1 to 2 teaspoons dried chives. You can also use fresh chopped cilantro.
- Serve immediately, or refrigerate covered in cling wrap for up to 3 days.
Notes
- For a creamier, cheesier filling grate the cheese at home instead of buying a pack of pre-shredded cheese. These are coated in starch powder and don't combine as well.
- You can use the pepper stuffing mix as a spicy cheese spread for keto bread or crackers as is, just store it in an airtight container for up to one week.
- If you wish to have these mini peppers as hot appetizers, you can warm them up just before serving. Put them spaced out in the air fryer for 5-7 minutes at 190 °C (375 °F), or in the preheated oven at 190 °C (375 °F) for about 12 minutes.
