Bacon-Wrapped Stuffing Bites
  1. 1

    Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add red bell pepper, celery, and onion; cook, stirring, until softened, 5 to 10 minutes.

  2. 2

    Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

  3. 3

    Combine stuffing mix, cream cheese, butter, and beaten egg in a large bowl; add hot water and mix well until combined. Let stand until the liquid is absorbed, about 10 minutes. Stir in the red bell pepper mixture. Shape into 1-inch balls.

  4. 4

    Place bread crumbs in a shallow dish. Roll the balls in the bread crumbs; arrange them on a baking sheet. Press them slightly into patties. Wrap the patties in bacon.

  5. 5

    Bake in the preheated oven until the bottoms are browned and crisp, about 10 minutes. Flip and continue baking until the tops are crisp, about 10 minutes more.
