- 1 teaspoon olive oil (optional)
- 1/2 cup chopped red bell pepper (optional)
- 1/2 cup chopped celery (optional)
- 1/2 cup chopped onion (optional)
- 2 cups stuffing mix (such as Kraft® Stove Top®)
- 1/2 (8 ounce) package softened cream cheese, cut into chunks
- 1/4 cup softened butter, cut into chunks
- 1 egg, beaten
- 2/3 cup very hot water
- 2/3 cup bread crumbs, or as needed
- 6 slices bacon, or more to taste (optional)
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add red bell pepper, celery, and onion; cook and stir until softened, 5 to 10 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Combine stuffing mix, cream cheese, butter, and beaten egg in a large bowl; add hot water and mix well until incorporated. Let sit until liquid is absorbed, about 10 minutes. Stir in red bell pepper mixture. Shape into 1-inch balls.
- Place bread crumbs in a shallow dish. Roll balls in bread crumbs; arrange them on a baking sheet. Flatten slightly into patties. Wrap patties in bacon.
- Bake in the preheated oven until bottoms are browned and crisp, about 10 minutes. Flip and continue baking until crisp on top, about 10 minutes more.
