Preparation

Step 1

Cut stems off peppers. Cut each pepper lengthwise down 1 side, leaving other side intact. Remove seeds and membranes using a small spoon. Rinse peppers under cold water.
Stir together cream cheese and next 4 ingredients. Spoon cream cheese mixture into a zip-top plastic freezer bag. (Do not seal.) Snip 1 corner of bag to make a small hole. Pipe a small amount of mixture into each pepper, and wrap each with 1 slice bacon. Secure with wooden picks.
Light 1 side of the grill, heating to high (400 to 500); leave other side unlit. Arrange peppers over unlit side, and grill, covered with grill lid, 22 to 25 minutes on each side. Also can be baked in the oven at 400.
