Stuffed Mini Peppers

First, preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Cut the tops off the mini peppers and slice them in half lengthwise. Remove the seeds and any white pith from the inside. Place the pepper halves on the prepared baking sheet.

In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, green onions, diced tomatoes, diced bacon, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated.

Spoon the cream cheese mixture into each pepper half, filling them generously. Smooth the filling with the back of the spoon.

Place the baking sheet with the stuffed peppers in the preheated oven. Bake for about 15 to 20 minutes or until the peppers are slightly softened, and the filling is hot and bubbly.

Once cooked, remove the stuffed peppers from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Optionally, garnish with chopped fresh parsley or cilantro for added flavor and presentation.

Serve the stuffed mini peppers warm as an appetizer or snack. They can be enjoyed immediately or at room temperature.
