Bacon Wrapped Stuffed Mini Sweet Peppers

I got the original recipe from: 
http://paperfly.hubpages.com/hub/Bacon-Wrapped-Stuffed-Sweet-Peppers

 I did add a few ingredients to add more flavor. Here is what I did: 

 Ingredients:
  • 2 large containers of Philadelphia Cream Cheese (Sorry but I cannot stand any type of generic cream cheese, it's got to be Philadelphia and the low calorie one)
  • 1 bag (about 20-25) small multi colored sweet peppers
  • 1 TBS dried basil
  • 1 TSP dried parsley
  • 1 TSP garlic powder
  • About 1/4 of a cup of Romano cheese
  • 1 Package of regular bacon (I did cut the pieces in half so there would be more but next time I will be sure to just get 2 packages of bacon --  I recommend getting 2 packages. 
Directions:
  1. Wash the peppers. 
  2. Cut around the stem at the top to remove steam and core/seeds. The peppers should be left whole, not cut in half. Set aside. 
  3. In a bowl combine cream cheese, basil, parsley, garlic powder and Romano cheese. Mix well. 
  4. With fingers (this is messy so have a damp washcloth or towel handy) gently stuff peppers with cream cheese mixture, using a finger to poke down. 
  5. Wrap a piece of bacon lengthwise over peppers and use a tooth pick to secure into place. Covering the hole where the stuffing is prevents the cream cheese from melting out but you may wrap them however you wish. 
There are two ways to cook these. I baked them in the oven but I bet the grill would be awesome.

Grill over medium coals about 10-12 minutes, turning every few minutes. Move to the hottest part of the grill for another minute or two to crisp up bacon or until done. OR

If you do not have a grill (like me), you can roast these in a 400 degree oven for about 14-16 minutes or until bacon is cooked and crisp. (I cooked them for about 15 minutes and then broiled them for about 8 minutes).

I'm Still Here!

It's been almost exactly four years since I posted anything. I got talking to someone today and mentioned I have this cooking blog. From time to time I mention I have it but have not done much with it since 2013. Why the break? For several reasons. The first reason, I became single and lost my main taste tester. Going from cooking for two to one for sure effected this blog. I also stopped posting during my break up. I did not want to advertise online what was going on and just needed to take my life off line a bit. The second reason: I moved to a different state, not once but twice. I moved to San Diego, California in October of 2013. I was there for a year and a half. I then moved to a suburb of Dallas, Texas in January of 2015. This is where I currently live and plan on staying. I have extended family here and why I made the move. About a year ago my mom retired and also moved here. She lives about twenty minutes away from me. I also have an aunt two miles away. I still hav

I found this recipe at:  www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/Grilled-Asian-Flank-Steak-with-Sweet-Slaw-242464 But I was in a bit of a hurry and ended up using it more of an inspiration recipe. This came out surprisingly good. I did pair this with some mashed celery root and vegetables.  Ingredients: 1 & 1/2 pound flank steak 1/4 cup soy sauce 5 TBS vegetable oil 1 & 1/2 TSP ground ginger 1 TSP garlic powder Directions: Combine all ingredients and put into a zip lock bag.  Let this marinade for about 30 minutes.  You can cook this on a grill or stove top. I used my stove top and it came out fine.
