  2. 1 hour seems like a long time, do the peppers hold up or shrink a bunch? Still, I can't wait to try these!! :)

  4. I have made these many times before and whole family loves them, but the last time I made them the filling all ran out before the bacon could get done! I did not use thin sliced bacon plus I added just 2 boxes of fat free cream cheese with 4 boxes of original cream cheese!! I was so mad only about 40 out of 100 of them turn out nice!! It is hard to believe that fat free cheese and medium sliced bacon made such a difference! Jo Ellen Columbus, Ohio

    1. To avoid the inside from running out, I cut in half, scoop out seeds, and leave the stems on.

  5. I just made these for a low carb treat for the Super Bowl over the weekend! Huge hit! I did an hour and they were perfect! I did put the broiler on for about 5 minutes or so just to give the bacon a bit more crunch. I took a couple to work the next day and heated them up in the microwave- they are a bit saugy but, I would make them again to take to work for leftovers! Better than having a sandwich everyday and I didn’t spend more than $10 to make all of these! Bonus! So good! Thank you for the recipe!
