HOW TO MAKE BACON AND GOAT CHEESE STUFFED MINI PEPPERS
These delectable peppers will be ready quickly with only a few easy steps. Preheat your oven to 400°F before continuing with the steps below.
Prepare the bacon. Bake the strips for 18 to 20 minutes after adding them to a baking sheet and transferring them to a paper towel to cool.
The filling, make it. Goat cheese, red onion, bacon that has been crumbled, parsley, garlic, salt, and pepper should all be combined in a bowl.
Fill the peppers, then bake them. After adding the filling with a spoon, place the peppers on a baking sheet in a uniform layer. Bake the peppers for 10 minutes or until they start to soften. Before serving, let them somewhat cool.
PREP THESE MINI STUFFED PEPPERS AHEAD OF TIME
If you're getting ready for a party, you can prepare these a few hours before visitors come. Simply prepare the mixture, stuff the peppers, spread them out on a baking sheet, and refrigerate before baking. This will give you time to prepare additional snacks and a new pitcher of margaritas!
HOW TO STORE AND REHEAT
You can easily store leftovers in the refrigerator if you have any (believe me, it's uncommon). This is the procedure.
- To keep: The peppers can be kept in the refrigerator for 4-5 days if stacked in an airtight container.
- Cook in the microwave for 20-30 seconds while placing them on a plate.

Frequently Asked Question
Q. Why is my pepper packed with soggy?
- Never overbake peppers. They will become mushy and soggy if you cook them briefly. Avoid adding additional liquid to the mixture before baking to prevent the stuffed peppers from becoming soggy. Check to see if the peppers are fork-tender.
