This is a very easy recipe that presents well and has everyone raving. I found the smaller peppers (no more than a 1/2 inch to 5/8 inch in diameter) stay wrapped by the bacon better while cooking. Don't know if it's just my oven but found I had to put the broiler on for a couple minutes after the 15 minutes of cooking to crispy up the bacon. Update Oct 2009: I've been making these regularly since discovering this recipe. Just wanted to share that now I usually omit the cheddar cheese and just add a 1/2 to 1 tsp of garlic salt to the creamcheese. Still a party favourite!

I wish I could give this recipe 50 stars!! I absolutely LOVE these poppers! I especially love how easy these are to make! Many times I've tried an appetizer that turns out to be very cumbersome to put together, especially the "stuffed" kind, but these are super easy and look fantastic. They've definitely got some spice to them (of course), but if you prefer less spice, just use bigger peppers, since they have more cream cheese to balance it out. It worked out perfect for my husband and me, as I love super spicy and he likes a little less, so he took the bigger, less spicy peppers, and we were both happy. I would also recommend lining your baking sheet with foil. I made it the first time without, and last night made them again with it lined and the cleanup was much easier. I could easily eat the entire batch myself! These will definitely be something I will crave often. Thanks for an awesome recipe, Stephanie!! UPDATE: I made this last night, but just wasn't in the mood to stuff the peppers, so I decided to make it in dip form! Lo and behold, it worked! I very coarsely chopped the peppers and roasted them for five minutes or so. Fried the bacon on the stovetop (used turkey bacon and it tasted great, although nothing is ever quite the same as the real thing), then mixed it all together. Baked in the oven at the same temp until hot and gooey, about ten minutes. ATE IT WITH A SPOON, which just seemed so wrong, but it tasted exactly the same and had the same amounts of everything, so I did my best to get over my feeling like a pig! I posted a pic. Would be great with tortilla chips!

These little gems are outstanding!! They make a huge batch in no time at all. I softened the cream cheese and mixed the cheddar into it. That way I didn't have to carefully top each pepper with the cheddar. I made them all up and popped them in the frige to set up the cream cheese and prepare the rest of the goodies for the meal. I might try spraying the tin foil with a little cooking spray because some of them stuck a little. Thanks for a simple but impressive appetizer!!
