Aida says
Is the 1 green 1.5 red and 1 blue per one popper?
Jean says
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! 🙂
Valarie says
What brand bacon do you use? Mine is just not cooking up in the oven for some reason.
Jean says
Usually Applegate, but the one in this photo is Oscar.

Steff says
What exactly are sweet peppers? Bell Peppers? Jalapenos? Red or Yellow or Orange Bell Peppers? These look smaller than what I am thinking??
Jean says
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!
Jean says
Sounds SO good, Liza!! Glad you like them!
Sherry says
These were amazing! I will be making these again for sure. Even the hubs liked them and he is super picky.
Jean says
Oh, so awesome to hear!
