    Stuffed Mini Sweet Peppers with Cheese and Bacon is an easy, versatile appetizer recipe that you can whip up in just about 15 minutes.

    Let's be honest: I think we all like our food to impress at parties. When it doesn't, it's a bit of a letdown.

    We may not admit it, but we all secretly want to set down a tray, bowl, or plate of something and come back five minutes later to find it down to the last crumb.

    Better yet, we want to sit back and listen while people simultaneously devour it and rave about it. "This tastes incredible!" "Now this is some great food!" "Is there another tray somewhere?" "Oh wow, who made THIS?"

    And then we get to smile and chime in with, "Oh, I did!" while pretending like we didn't have high expectations for its consumption. The next step is more praise, invariably followed by at least a few requests for the recipe.

    If you secretly (or maybe not-so-secretly) walk into every gathering with those kinds of expectations, then you'll love this Stuffed Mini Sweet Peppers with Cheese and Bacon recipe. It's so good that it's sure to produce a moment like that wherever you go.
