I bought the ‘Woodbridge by Robert Mondavi Chardonnay & Cabernet Sauvignon‘ as they are made for sharing and connecting with others,.
Sparks spontaneous moments, and makes any occasion more fun. (I ended up buying 3 packs…Yes, that’s totally us….we just love in abundance 😉.
That’s exactly how the Stacked Wine (pictured above) look and they definitely taste as crisp and delicious as any other Woodbridge by Robert Mondavi Chardonnay & Cabernet Sauvignon Wines.
Once, we stocked up on all the drinks menu, we finally made these delicious easy to make sweet-spicy gourmet bites and were all set to party with our friends.
How to Make Stuffed Sweet Spicy Peppers
To make this recipe, even more, easy peasy, I prep everything a night before and on the day of our tailgating party.
- I start by making the filling using boiled potatoes, cream cheese, corn, chili flakes, seasoning and cooked bacon.
- Then wash, half and clean the peppers from the inside (remove any seeds or membrane).
- Then stuff each half of the peppers till top.
- Sprinkle bread crumbs and line on a baking tray/grill or air fryer basket (whichever method you use).
- Cook as per the method used for 7-10 minutes.
- Once cooked, transfer the sweet-spicy mini peppers to a serving plate.
- Serve immediately with your favorite dip or chutney.
