Cooking Instructions
To grill the peppers, just grill covered over medium heat. By the time the bacon is done, everything is done.
To bake them, put them in an oven preheated to 350°F for 10 minutes and then turn the temperature up to 400°F for 5-10 minutes or until the bacon is done to your liking. The same instructions can be used for electric smokers or pellet grills.
Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving.
