    Ingredients for bacon and goat cheese stuffed mini peppers

    This recipe is made with just a handful of fresh ingredients.

    To make bacon and goat cheese stuffed mini peppers, you need half of a dozen sweet peppers, goat cheese, honey, salt, a jalapeño, and last, but certainly not least, half a pound of cooked bacon.

    Creamy, fresh goat cheese on the block or in a log is perfect for stuffed sweet peppers.

    I used award-winning Cypress Grove goat cheese.

    To prepare the goat cheese, crumble one cup of it.

    jalapenos cut in half

    To prepare the jalapeño, remove the pith and seeds and dice it.

    I buy jalapeños in bulk and keep diced frozen jalapeños on hand for recipes like this one.

    To cook the bacon, heat the oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking tray with parchment paper and lay bacon on top. Cook bacon for 15 minutes, flip and cook another 10 minutes. Dice cooked bacon and set aside.

    Prepare the goat cheese filling

    Mix goat cheese and honey into a spread.

    Mix the salt and jalapeños in to the goat cheese filling.

    Cook bacon and goat cheese stuffed mini peppers in the oven on 425 degrees for 10 minutes.

    The goat cheese filling will melt and the sweet peppers will roast.

    Next, set the broiler to high.

    Sprinkle bacon on top of stuffed sweet peppers.

    Then pop the bacon and goat cheese stuffed mini peppers in the broiler for 2 minutes.

    The bacon will melt into the sweet pepper poppers.

    Sprinkle chopped cilantro on the top of the stuffed sweet peppers.

    Serve stuffed sweet peppers hot or at room temperature.

      If you want to freeze these stuffed peppers, do you cook them first or assemble only and freeze to cook later?

        Hi Kristina,

        Personally, I’d completely prep them and then freeze them. Then let them thaw overnight to cook them before serving.

      I made these for Easter and all my extended family ate them. Between these mini peppers and deviled eggs I cooked, I was worried no one would be hungry for the main course! Didn’t have fancy honey so mine were made with the honey in the bear shape bottle. Will be making them again!!5 stars

    Hey, I’m Jenna Passaro.

    I develop easy recipes that can transform your kitchen into a restaurant – and you into a true home chef.

      

    Where to start?

    Learn the secrets to smoking tasty Traeger recipes and making pizza at home. And cook amazing tri tip steak dinners.

    Or, fall in love with something new to cook with your air fryer, pellet smoker, BBQ grill, sous vide cooker, and more…

    You’ll notice, I kind of geek out over new cooking trends and tools!

    My story. Growing up, I didn’t learn to cook.

    (I was actually banned from cooking for years)

    And then in my 20’s I didn’t have to cook because my job as an event planner involved a lot of travel and it was easier to eat out. At the time, I was 100% positive that restaurant food would always taste better than cooking at home, and there was nothing I could do about it.

    Until I fell in love with a chef. He would come over and cook me delicious meals right in my own kitchen. My mind was blown.

    Since then, I’ve been on a mission to figure out easy ways to make restaurant style food at home and share it here on Sip Bite Go.

    Love to eat out and travel? I can totally relate. See my guide on where to eat in Portland, OR.

    Never in a million years did I imagine I’d ditch the 9-5 lifestyle in my late 20’s, move across the country on a whim, start a new life, start a food blog, and write a book.

    But here I am!
