Sweet Pepper Poppers

 First I preheated the oven before I even started anything. I would say the second part of this was the most time consuming and hardest. I had to slice all the peppers in half lengthwise and scooped out the seeds and membrane. I fried up 3 pieces of bacon and cut them into small pieces to put in the pepper filling. I cooked 1/2 cup of onion in the bacon grease before putting it in the filling. The filling of course consisted of Cheddar cheese, onion, bacon bits, 4 ounces of cream cheese, 1 teaspoon of garlic (One clove), 2 tablespoons of green onion, 1 teaspoon of lemon juice, 1/8 teaspoon of red pepper flakes for a little bit of spice (Not much), 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, 3 tablespoons of melted butter, and I finally mixed it altogether. After it was mixed together, I had to spoon it into the peppers evenly. I put them in the oven and baked them for about 20 minutes. They tasted like a sweeter version of regular Jalapeno Poppers. They looked pretty messy in the pan I cooked them in but that's because the cheese melted all over. So they didn't look that pretty other than the nice golden brown topping to the filling.
