For a smokier flavor, consider adding a dash of smoked paprika to the cream cheese mixture. If you prefer a less spicy pepper, use sweet banana peppers instead. To get the toothpicks to soak better, use warm water.

Follow The Directions
01
StepSoak toothpicks in water for 15 minutes.
02
StepIn a large bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, minced garlic, and fresh cilantro. Ensure all ingredients are thoroughly mixed. (5 minutes)
03
StepPreheat an outdoor grill to medium heat. Lightly oil the grill grate to prevent sticking. (5 minutes)
04
StepCarefully cut a lengthwise slit into each banana pepper, being cautious not to slice it completely in half. Create a second slit approximately 1/4 inch from the stem, forming a 'T' shape where the slits intersect. With a paring knife, gently remove the seeds to your desired level of heat. (15 minutes)
05
StepUsing a small spoon, generously fill each pepper with the prepared cream cheese mixture. Wrap each stuffed pepper with a slice of peppered bacon, ensuring it's snug. Secure the bacon and keep the pepper closed by sliding a toothpick through the center of each pepper. (20 minutes)
06
StepPlace the stuffed peppers on the preheated grill. Grill for approximately 15 minutes, then turn and continue cooking until the bacon is crisp and cooked through, about 10 minutes more. (25 minutes)
