½ cup Cream Cheese

½ cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese

¼ tsp Salt

¼ tsp Pepper

1/3 cup Bread Crumbs

METHOD

Pre-heat oven to 400°

In a frying pan, cook bacon strips until crispy.  Remove from pan, onto a plate lined with a paper towel. Once cooled, pat grease off bacon and chop it into small bits.

Half peppers lengthwise, and remove seeds. Set aside for stuffing.

In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, cheddar, green onions, bacon, salt and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients become well incorporated.

With a spoon, stuff peppers with cheese mixture, leveling off once the pepper cavity is filled.

Spread breadcrumbs out on to a small plate. Dip the peppers, cheese side down to coat with bread crumbs. Place peppers onto baking sheet with the cheese and breadcrumb side up.

Place into 400° oven for 25 minutes. Remove and let cool a bit before serving.

Total cooking time: 45 minutes
