Ingredients For Cream Cheese Stuffed Peppers:
- 1 pound Bag of Mini Peppers (I bought a 16-ounce bag and used 12 whole peppers, which gave me 24 Cream Cheese Stuffed Peppers.)
- 8 ounce Brick of Cream Cheese, softened.
- 8 ounce Brick of Pepper Jack Cheese, thinly shredded. OR purchase an 8-ounce bag already shredded.

Instructions
How To Make Cream Cheese Stuffed Peppers, Step-By-Step
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- Wash and dry the peppers. Cut each pepper in half, lengthwise, and remove the seeds. Set aside.
- Finely chop the green onions and grate the cheese if you bought a brick.
- Add the softened cream cheese, shredded pepper jack cheese, and green onions to a mixing bowl. Mix thoroughly with a hand or stand mixer, OR you can use your hands to mix the ingredients. Add salt and pepper to taste once the filling is combined.
- Add 1/2 to 1 tablespoon of cream cheese filling to each pepper. There is enough filling to fill 24 pepper halves, aka 12 whole peppers.
- Add the stuffed peppers to a baking sheet and bake them at 400 degrees F for 15 minutes.
- Remove the baked peppers from the hot sheet immediately and serve.
