Bacon-Wrapped Jalapeño Poppers
These Bacon-Wrapped Jalapeño Poppers are creamy in the middle with crispy bacon on the outside, super easy to make and much tastier than traditional poppers.
Equipment
- baking sheet
- Aluminum foil
- mixing bowl
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup cream cheese
- 0.5 cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
- 12 pieces jalapeño peppers, halved lengthwise, seeds and membranes removed
- 12 slices bacon
Instructions
- Gather ingredients. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
- Mix cream cheese and Cheddar cheese together in a bowl until evenly blended. Fill each jalapeño half with cheese mixture.
- Put halves back together and wrap each stuffed pepper with a slice of bacon. Arrange bacon-wrapped jalapeño peppers on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven until bacon is crispy, 25 to 35 minutes.
- Serve poppers hot with your favorite dipping sauce. Enjoy!
Notes
If using thick-cut bacon, pre-bake the bacon at 400 degrees F on a parchment-lined baking sheet until partially rendered but still pliable, about 8 minutes. Let the bacon cool slightly, wrap it around the peppers, and secure with toothpicks before proceeding with step 4.
