Stuffed Sweet Peppers

I have to share this one with y'all! Oh my goodness these are so amazing! My girls our in love with sweet peppers and will even eat them raw. They could go through 20 of these little cuties if I let them. So my mind started turning and I was wondering what I could do with them to make a little dinner side.

1. The girls LOVE the sweet peppers, so hard part over of making them eat something "weird"
2. I LOVE peas, and cream cheese
3. The man of the house LOVES bacon

So with that been said, I threw it all in a bowl and mixed away and then stuffed. I have tried them in the oven and they turn out great! I have to say that one night I was grilling and I went ahead and through them on there. I do believe they turned out even BETTER! I will defiantly be cooking them that way again.

I couldn't really tell you how much of each to cook/chop or what not into it. Just go with what you like I guess. Maybe not so much cream cheese just enough to make it ball up I guess in the bowl?!?! Oh and SOFTEN the cream cheese makes mixing a much easier and quicker job.

I really hope that y'all enjoy these as much as my family does. Ill tell you what to, I am not a pepper fan. Though I could eat a whole plate of these.

I like how on the grill they kinda char up I guess, lol. :)
