š Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375Ā°F (190Ā°C). This is super important for perfectly cooked peppers!
- Wash and halve your bell peppers. Remove the seeds and membranes. Try not to make a huge mess, it's always a disaster for me!
- In a large bowl, combine the cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, jalapeƱos (finely choppedāunless you like a major kick!), green onions (finely chopped), and garlic powder. Use a whisk to mix everything until it's nice and creamy. It's so satisfying to watch this come together!
- Season generously with salt and pepper. Taste it! Adjust seasonings to your preference. You're the boss of your pepper!
- Stuff each pepper half generously with the cheese mixture. Make sure itās packed tightly to prevent it from spilling out during baking! Oh, and try not to get it everywhere...like I did once...
- Place the stuffed peppers on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. This step makes cleanup so much easier later! Trust me on this one...so, so much easier.
- Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the peppers are tender and the cheese mixture is bubbly and slightly browned. Keep an eye on them! Ovens can be fickle sometimes...
- Let the peppers cool for a few minutes before serving. It might be tempting to dive right in, but it's really important to let them cool down so you don't burn your mouth! (Learned that the hard way...)
- Garnish with extra jalapeƱos or green onions, if desired. A little extra crunch never hurts!
- Serve and enjoy! I hope you love these as much as I do!
š Notes
- For extra flavor, try adding a dash of hot sauce or a sprinkle of paprika.
- If you dont't like a lot of heat, remove the seeds and membranes from the jalapeƱos before chopping.
- Feel free to substitute other types of cheese, such as Monterey Jack or pepper jack
