Cream Cheese + Pork Stuffed Peppers

This post contains affiliate links.

Ok ok ok I know these might sound weird, but they are TOO GOOD not to share! We were making regular-ole stuffed peppers a few months ago + I always look to cook with what we have. I found cream cheese in the fridge that was almost on it’s way out + I turned to Bobby + asked, “Would it be weird to add cream cheese into these?!“

I really was leaning towards not trying it because it kind of sounded gross. He said, “Why not?” + I just took a chance. WOW! They were a slam-dunk. I only share recipes on here I absolutellllllllly love. Believe me, there have been some flops. This was not one of them!
