Bacon Wrapped Sweet Pepper Poppers

July 18, 2017 by Jennifer Leave a Comment

Do you love jalapeño poppers, but notice that the heat level can be unpredictable? Especially if you’ve ever eaten poppers made from scratch, those tend to be all over the board.

And I don’t know if you’ve ever cooked with fresh jalapeño, but it’s not my favorite thing. I’m always paranoid I’ll forget that their deadly juice is on my fingers and do something stupid like rub my eyes, or go to the bathroom. Ouch!Can't wait to try Bacon Wrapped Sweet Pepper Poppers at my next party! #partyfood #appetizers #fingerfood www.thesearchforimperfection.com

We’ve been eating those cute little mini sweet bell peppers for years. Then one day while trying to decide what to make for a party, it dawned on me… SWEET PEPPER POPPERS!

They have almost the exact same shape as a jalapeño pepper, just with a sweet flavor instead of a spicy flavor. Then if you stuff them with cream cheese and wrap them in bacon, oh man! I love that the veggie cream cheese adds all kinds of flavor to these as well. Not to mention the fact that there are only 3 ingredients in these little nuggets of deliciousness makes them a breeze to whip up.

The only problem I had when I took them to the party, was that they went way too quickly and I wish I had made more. I kept hearing everyone say how jalapeño poppers can sometimes be just too spicy for them. So these are sure to please everyone in the crowd.

How to Make Bacon Wrapped Sweet Pepper Poppers

Bacon Wrapped Sweet Pepper Poppers

3. Using your fingers, gently pull out the white membranes in the peppers and scrape the seeds out.

4. With a small butter knife, spread the veggie cream cheese on the inside of the peppers filling to right about the top of the pepper.

5. Take the plastic off your package of bacon, and while still on the cardboard part cut all the bacon in half

6. Wrap each pepper with a half slice of bacon. You shouldn’t need to use a toothpick to keep them closed, but you can if you want.

7. Line a 9×13 baking pan with foil, and put the raw bacon wrapped stuffed sweet peppers on the foil.

8. Start checking on them after 25 minutes, but they’ll likely take longer, if not twice that amount of time, depending on the thickness of your bacon.

9. Don’t be impatient, you want the bacon to get nice and crispy, and almost start to caramelize in its own juices. Nobody likes soggy bacon!

Now plate them up, and watch them disappear.
