Behind these Tuna Melt Stuffed Mini Peppers
For those who can’t take the heat of Jalapeno Poppers, these Stuffed Mini Peppers with melted cheese and tuna with bacon are here for the rescue!
I know a few people who have those wimpy tongues that can’t tolerate the heat of jalapenos even though the seeds inside are the evil culprits. So these cheesy tuna bacon mini sweet peppers make a great substitution. The mini sweet peppers are about the same size as jalapenos and can hold in the cheesy tuna and bacon mixture!

Tuna Melt Stuffed Mini Peppers Breakdown
You will need about 8-10 mini sweet peppers each sliced in half. Try grabbing the thick and straight pieces as they are better to hold these cheesy tuna bacon mixture. You can leave the stem or cut it off. Set those aside.
Next, grab a bowl. Mix the tuna, mayo, bacon, jalapenos (optional), and the spices together. If you like your tuna chunky, leave some chunks and don’t flake them further. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with foil. Spray coconut oil over.
Begin to stuff each mini sweet peppers with about a tablespoon or however much you would like.
Sprinkle some shredded cheeses on top and bake for 8-10 minutes or until the cheeses have melted. You’ll notice a bit of the juices oozing out a little but thats okay. The best part are the melted cheeses that turned crispy and you’ll have mini cheesy crisps!
Let these cheesy tuna bacon mini stuffed peppers cool for a few minutes. If you can’t wait, go ahead and MOUTH BOMB!😉
