Delicious Stuffed Banana Peppers

Spicy meets sweet and creamy in these stuffed banana peppers. Makes a great snack or an appetizer for a party. Great for large groups as you can easily control the amount of spiciness. This is one of my favorites!

Step: 1

Soak toothpicks in water for 15 minutes.

Step: 2

Combine cream cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, and cilantro in a large bowl. Mix well.

Step: 3

Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.

Step: 4

Cut a slit lengthwise through each pepper without slicing it in half. Cut another slit about 1/4 inch from the stem across the previous slit, forming a ‘T’. Remove seeds, as desired, using a paring knife.

Step: 5

Fill each pepper with the cream cheese stuffing mixture using a small spoon. Wrap each pepper with a slice of raw bacon. Slide 1 toothpick through the center of each pepper to hold onto the bacon and keep pepper closed.

Step: 6

Grill stuffed peppers for 15 minutes. Turn and cook until bacon is crisp, about 10 minutes more.
