Ingredients & Substitutions

Cheese: This recipe uses shredded cheddar cheese and cream cheese. You want the cream cheese to be at room temperature so it’s soft enough to mix.
Seasonings: A packet of ranch seasoning is used to give the cream cheese mixture some extra flavor. Do not use ranch dressing.
Buffalo Sauce: This is what gives these spicy mini stuffed peppers their heat. You can choose your favorite brand.
Sour Cream: The sour cream adds a bit of tangy flavor to the cream cheese mixture and helps give it more of a creamier texture.
Chives for garnish: optional
