Preheat the oven to 300°F.

Cut the tops off the mini sweet peppers and hollow them out.

Place a cheese cube in each pepper and then skewer the stuffed peppers on a wooden stick long enough to hang in the oven.

Beat the eggs, season with salt and pepper, and pour into the peppers.

Hang the wooden skewer with the peppers in the oven and cook for 20 minutes.

Add the eggs and bread pieces to the ground beef, season with salt, pepper, and paprika, and mix well.

Once the stuffed peppers have cooled, remove them from the skewer and wrap them in the ground beef mixture. Increase the oven temperature to 350°F.

Wrap 2 bacon slices around each stuffed meatball.

Place the bacon-wrapped stuffed meatballs in a muffin pan and stick a popsicle stick in the middle of each one.

Put the pan in the oven and cook at 350°F for 20 minutes until the bacon meatballs are nice and crispy.
