Ladies (and gentlemen), let me tell you about a keto-friendly afternoon treat that literally made me dance in my kitchen! I’ve been experimenting with low-carb recipes lately, and oh. my. goodness. These Cream Cheese-Stuffed Bell Peppers with Bacon are everything you never knew you needed in your life.
First off, can we talk about how annoying it is when you’re craving something savory and satisfying, but all the regular snacks are loaded with carbs? Girl, I’ve got you covered! This recipe is like a warm hug for your taste buds, minus the guilt.
Here’s what you’ll need (trust me, it’s worth the grocery trip):
– 4 medium bell peppers (any color, but I’m partial to red ones)
– 8 oz cream cheese (room temperature, please!)
– 6 slices of bacon, cooked and crumbled
– 2 green onions, finely chopped
– 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
– 1 tsp garlic powder
– Salt and pepper to taste
Now, let’s get cooking! 💁♀️
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (I know, waiting is the worst part)
2. Cut those beautiful peppers in half lengthwise and remove the seeds
3. In a bowl, mix the cream cheese, half the bacon, green onions, half the cheddar, and seasonings
4. Stuff each pepper half with this heavenly mixture
5. Top with remaining cheese and bacon
6. Bake for 20-25 minutes until the peppers are tender and cheese is bubbly

Pro tip: Make extra because these babies disappear FAST. Trust me, I learned this the hard way when my husband “sampled” half the batch before our dinner party!
These peppers are perfect for meal prep too. Just store them in an airtight container, and they’ll stay fresh for up to 3 days (if they last that long, which, let’s be real, they won’t).
