Preheat oven to 425°. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil.
Place bell peppers on prepared pan. Cover with onion and garlic, and season with salt and black pepper.
Bake until peppers are very tender and begin to brown, about 35 minutes, turning pan halfway through baking. Transfer peppers to a medium heatproof bowl, and cover with plastic wrap. Discard remaining ingredients and juices from baking sheet. Let peppers stand until cool.
In the work bowl of a food processor, combine peppers, cream cheese, and smoked paprika. Process until smooth. Cover and refrigerate until serving.
