Stuffed Bacon Wrapped Peppers

Steps

1. 1

   Note: I highly advise wearing gloves when working with the peppers.

2. 2

   Before making these, cook the little smokies in a small crock pot with the BBQ sauce for 4-6 hours on low.

3. 3

   Next when you are ready to start the peppers, preheat the oven to 350*.

   Combine the cream cheese, garlic, and basil in a small bowl to make the filling.

6. 6

   Cut the end off the peppers and slice in half then scoop the seeds out.

7. 7

   Next, slather on some of the cream cheese mixture, place 1 little smokie on top of the cream then wrap with bacon and use a toothpick to hold into place.

8. 8

   When wrapping with bacon, I found it was easiest to cut the bacon in half and use half a slice.

9. 9

   Place these on a wire rack.

    When finished bake for 20-30 minutes or until bacon is crisp.
