Bacon and Goat Cheese Stuffed Mini Peppers with Balsamic Sweet Chili Sauce

Mini sweet peppers stuffed with melted goat cheese and bacon served with a balsamic sweet chili sauce!

Mini peppers are so much fun! I am a little obsessed with stuffing them right now and these bacon and goat cheese stuffed mini peppers with balsamic sweet chili sauce are my current favourite! They are so easy to make! You simply cook some bacon, mix it in with the goat cheese and cream cheese along with some garlic and onions, stuff the halved mini peppers and roast until the cheese is nice and warm and melty and good! These sweet and savoury, finger licking bundles of goodness are so good all by themselves and even better when dipped in a balsamic sweet chili sauce! Whether you serve these bacon and goat cheese stuffed mini peppers with balsamic sweet chili sauce to guests as appetizers/snacks or you devour an entire batch of them by yourself (I won’t tell anyone… since I do it too…) you are sure to enjoy them!
