| The freeze hit us November 9th this year, and so the pepper season is finally at an end.
I had to harvest the last of my Ethiopian Berberes in the green stage, but at least several were full-size. What to do, what to do? Well, I decided that I'd slice them, fill with cream cheese, wrap with bacon, and then bake until crisp. And that's what I did tonight :-) Step one: select some nice pods (ignore that blemish! hehe).
*I should have wrapped 'em end ta end with bacon. Shameful how much cream cheese is showin'! ;-)

| Thanks, Mark! Well, that's a good question... I'm sure there are several others who can offer great substitutes, so I'll defer to them. I know some folks mix in shredded cheddar, too. Josh |

| @habjolokia - you don't like cream cheese or not a fan of cheese in general? If no cheese (or only a little) you could try something sausage based (think stuffed mushrooms). Bet that would be good and work well. |

| Thanks tsheets, I do like cheese just not a fan of cream cheese. I do like the idea of sausage with some cheese mixed in, stuffed in peppers and bacon wrapped. Great idea will have to try that soon. Mark |

| habjolokia: Try Mozerella cheese instead of cream cheese. I found that stuffing jalapenos with a mixture of ground italian sausage and mozerella cheese was yummy. THe Bacon wrap would suffice for the italian sausage and is probably easier. Bruce |

| You can use cheddar as the primary cheese and add any number of other ingredients. My stuffing is rather complex. Cream cheese is then merely a binder. You just need something sticky to hold the goodies inside the pepper, so maybe bree? tofu? library paste? |
