Follow The Directions

01

Step
10 mins

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add red bell pepper, celery, and onion; cook and stir until softened, about 5-10 minutes.

02

Step
5 mins

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

03

Step
10 mins

In a large bowl, combine stuffing mix, cream cheese, butter, and beaten egg. Add hot water and mix well until incorporated. Let sit until liquid is absorbed, about 10 minutes. Stir in the cooked red bell pepper mixture. Shape into 1-inch balls.

04

Step
5 mins

Place bread crumbs in a shallow dish. Roll balls in bread crumbs, ensuring they are fully coated. Arrange them on a baking sheet. Gently flatten each ball slightly into a patty shape. Wrap each patty in a slice of bacon, securing with a toothpick if necessary.

05

Step
10 mins

Bake in the preheated oven until bottoms are browned and crisp, about 10 minutes. Flip and continue baking until crisp on top, about 10 minutes more. Check to make sure the bacon is fully cooked.

For extra flavor, try adding cooked and crumbled Italian sausage or shredded cheddar cheese to the stuffing mixture.
Consider using different types of bacon, such as hickory-smoked or peppered bacon, to add unique flavors.
These can be prepared ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator until ready to bake. Add a few minutes to the baking time if baking from cold.
