Ingredients

  • 6 -10 fresh banana peppers
  • 8 ounces shredded monterey jack pepper cheese
  • 8 ounces shredded cheddar cheese
  • 3 12 slices of thick cut bacon
  • 6 -10 toothpicks
  • 1 kabob skewer
  • 1 baking sheet (and 1 bread pan)

Method

  • Cut the tops off of all the peppers and discard stems.
  • Remove insides of peppers with a paring knife being careful not to puncture the peppers.
  • Stuff each pepper with a mixture of the cheeses until they are full to the top.
  • Cut each slice of bacon into 3 sections.
  • Wrap the small section of bacon over the top of each pepper securing with a toothpick on the sides to create a "lid" for the peppers.
  • Stick your kabob skewer through all the peppers width-wise (near the top or widest part of the pepper).
  • Set the peppers upright in the bread pan so the cheese will not seep out as it melts.
  • (The skewer will help prop them up).
  • Set the pan of peppers on a baking sheet in case any grease drippings occur from the bacon.
  • Bake in the oven for 25 minutes at 400 degrees or until the bacon is crisp.
