Preparation

Step 1

Place oven rack in center position then preheat broiler. Cover a baking sheet with foil then arrange sweet pepper halves on top.

In a medium-sized bowl stir together goat cheese, cream cheese, garlic and onion powders, salt and pepper until smooth. Add 3/4 of the bacon then stir to combine. Fill pepper halves to the top with the cheese mixture, smoothing with your finger or the back of a spoon.

Broil for 3-4 minutes watching very carefully to avoid burning then transfer poppers to a platter and sprinkle with remaining bacon. If cheese doesn't begin to brown within a minute or two, move rack up (you just don't want to overcook the pepper halves.)

Serve with sweet chili sauce for dipping.
