These look great–my kids would like the “mini” factor of using the baby bells :p

YUM! Mid summer I am always looking for new ways to use our bountiful crop of red peppers. This filling sounds perfect!

These were delicious! I actually used 1/4 c plain yogurt and 1/4 c sour cream instead of all the sour cream. And I used regular bell peppers as I didn’t have the little ones. But this would make a great party appetizer with the little peppers! Yummy summer dinner… thanks 🙂

Can you bake these and serve them warm or are they a cold dinner?
