- Add some shredded cheddar cheese on the top to make them super cheesy.
- Meat lovers can add some finely crumbled sausage or chopped bacon to the mix.
- Chives or green onions would also work well in this dish. My family doesn’t like them, so I left them out.
- Allow the cream cheese to soften at room temperature before using. This will help the mixture to be creamier.

Sure, these stuffed peppers can be made up to a day ahead of time.
Store them in the fridge in an airtight container and eat them whenever you want.
