How To Make pizza poppers

  • Step 1
    The amounts here are approximate because you will have a variety of different size peppers. I like to lay my peppers out and see what side they lie the flattest on, that way you will have a more stable pepper. Then you will cut your peppers off diagonally just above the stem line. Now remove what few seeds are inside.
  • Step 2
    Next dice up the pepperoni and Canadian bacon and grate your cheese and mix with pizza sauce altogether in a bowl, it's just that simple.
  • Step 3
    Now gently press as much filling inside each pepper as you can, leaving it heaping on top. Bake in a preheated 425° oven for about 20 min. If grilling or smoking, time will depend on temp of grill or smoker.
