Bacon can be substituted with Italian pancetta or cooked ham.
If using cooked ham, you can skip the frying.
Chopped jalapenos can be added to the filling if you like just be careful with the amount you add.
This recipe can be easily doubled or halved.
The baking time may vary depending on the size of your peppers.
This filling is enough for 8-9 mini peppers. Now this can vary depending on the size of the peppers.
