Is the 1 green 1.5 red and 1 blue per one popper?
No, that’s for all of them, Aida. Depending on size, you can fit about 4 sweet peppers in the green container. They’re little guys! 🙂
What brand bacon do you use? Mine is just not cooking up in the oven for some reason.
Usually Applegate, but the one in this photo is Oscar.

Hi! Thank you for this recipe! These are so delicious! I started the 21 day fix program this week and I made these tonight. OMGracious they are amazing! Thank you for showing the containers too. I am going to be trying your buffalo dip next 🙂
Yay! So glad you liked it, Charisa! How are you liking the overall program so far?
What exactly are sweet peppers? Bell Peppers? Jalapenos? Red or Yellow or Orange Bell Peppers? These look smaller than what I am thinking??
Yes, they are small. They usually come in a bag like this https://sorelegsandscrambledeggs.files.wordpress.com/2012/06/mini-sweet-peppers.jpg
WOW! Day 5 of 21 fix and looking for something to do with abundance of jalapeño peppers…these knocked my socks off! Totally feel like a cheat meal. I substituted monterey jack because thats what I had on hand. My bacon was already cooked up for the week so I placed about 1/3rd slice of bacon on top of each one (rather than wrapping) prior to baking. Mixed in a touch of dinosaur bbq sauce (low cal) with remaining mixture for dipping for some smokiness. Can’t wait to make these for my husband…goodbye cream cheese!
Sounds SO good, Liza!! Glad you like them!
These were amazing! I will be making these again for sure. Even the hubs liked them and he is super picky.
Oh, so awesome to hear!
