These Bacon Ranch Cheesy Stuffed Peppers are a quick and easy appetizer that you can make in about ten minutes.
I picked up this bag of beautiful looking peppers with no idea what I would be doing with them.
I stuck them in the bottom drawer of the fridge and pretty much forgot all about them until yesterday.
It’s been almost 3 weeks since I have gone grocery shopping. I was trying to see how long I could go using only the things we had in the pantry, fridge and freezer.
I was looking for something to make to snack on yesterday and saw the bag of peppers sitting in the bottom of the fridge and remembered that I had some cream cheese that I needed to use up.
So I added some onions, milk, bacon and seasonings I had on hand and came up with these Bacon Ranch Cheesy Stuffed Peppers which are delicious!
It took a lot of restraint not to eat them all myself.
I shared a photo of them on the Facebook Page and several of you asked me to share the recipe so here it is.
