You don’t have to brown the bell pepper before adding, especially if you like a little bite to your bell pepper. I don’t care for bell peppers in more of a raw state.

The recipe calls for 4 oz reduced fat cream cheese, you can use full fat if you desire. It will taste amazuing any way you make it.
