Grilled Cheesy Sweet Peppers
Do you ever walk by the produce aisle and wonder what you can do with a bag of sweet peppers? I used to see them and think they didn't have many uses aside from adding a little crunch to a salad. One day I bought a bag and tried cooking with them. Now I use them all the time in sauces, salsas, and stir frys but one of my favorite uses is filling them with.....jalapeño cream cheese, spices, and bacon!
