Jalapeno Poppers Wrapped In Crispy Bacon
Pack a spicy punch with each bite, combining the heat of jalapeños with the creamy, cheesy filling and a sweet, crispy bacon exterior that makes them a hit at any party!
Ingredients
- 12 Jalapenos
- 2 8 oz packs Cream Cheese
- 1 pack Bacon
- Brown Sugar
- Chili Powder
- 1 bag Shredded Cheddar Cheese
Instructions
- Pre Heat Oven to 375 degrees
- In a bowl, soften cream cheese in the microwave for 20 seconds, checking softness and mixing, then putting back into the microwave for another 20 seconds, checking on it until you have it the softness needed to mix it with ease
- Add the shredded cheddar cheese (I am not giving a measurement because I just sprinkle in however much shredded cheese I want)
- Mix the shredded cheddar cheese and softened cream cheese together until mixed completely, set aside
- Wash the jalapenos and dry them. Cut them in half and scoop out the seeds and insides, throw the seeds/insides away
- Add the mixture of cream cheese and shredded cheddar cheese into the center of each halved jalapeno
- Wrap each individual halved jalapeno filled with the cream cheese/cheddar filling with one bacon strip
- Sprinkle brown sugar over the tops of each bacon-wrapped jalapeno
- Sprinkle Chili powder over the tops of each bacon-wrapped jalapeno
- Put them into your preheated oven for 15 minutes, turning them over, then continue cooking them for an additional 15 minutes (total of 30 minutes. You can add an additional 5 minutes for extra crispy bacon which I like).
Notes
Serve these immediately and ENJOY!
