- 1/2 tsp garlic powder

- In a small bowl, use an electric mixer to beat together the cream cheese, green onions, bacon, garlic powder, cheddar cheese, and Worcestershire sauce until smooth.
- Fill the sliced peppers with the filling, about a heaping tablespoon each. Place them on the prepared cookie sheet and sprinkle each pepper with a little extra cheese.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the peppers have softened.
- Allow the peppers to cool slightly before eating. Sprinkle with a little chopped cilantro if desired. Enjoy!
