Love spice, bacon, and cheese? Well look no further... One of my favorite snacks all in one..
Ingredients
Instructions
- 16 fresh jalapeños
- 16 strips bacon
- 8 oz cream cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp cumin (optional)
- 1 tsp chili powder (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350° F
- Slice the bacon in half (this will give you 16 half length pieces).
- Slice the ends off each jalapeno. Slice each jalapeno in half length-wise. Remove seeds and membranes with a corer or knife. (Caution: use gloves to protect hands)
- Mix the cream cheese, optional spices, and cheddar cheese together in a bowl.
- Fill each jalapeno half with the cheese mix. (You can either place two halves back together or keep them separate. We prefer separate!)
- Wrap each piece in bacon.
- Place all bacon-wrapped jalapeno poppers on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil. Make sure there is a bit of room between each piece. Bake for 20-25 minutes (until bacon is baked and jalapenos are desired spiciness).
- Important: Do a taste test with one popper to measure the spiciness. The longer you bake the poppers, the less hot they become.
- Add salt, paprika and any other spices to taste. Enjoy!
