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!

Ingredients

toothpicks
2 packages cream cheese , 8 ounce
0.5 cups chopped sun-dried tomatoes
3 cloves garlic , minced, or more to taste
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
10 bananas peppers
10 slices peppered bacon , or to taste

Instructions

1

Soak toothpicks in water for 15 minutes.
2

Combine cream cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, and cilantro in a large bowl. Mix well.
3

Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
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.
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.
6

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