Ingredients
Scale
- 12 jalapeno peppers approximately 3 inches long
- 8 ounces cream cheese softened
- 1/2 cup finely shredded cheddar
- 1/2 cup finely shredded Monterey Jack
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
- 12 slices bacon cut in half
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Cover baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
- Cut the jalapenos in half lengthwise. Using a spoon or melon baller remove the veins and seeds. Place on baking sheet cut side up.
- Using a mixer blend the cream cheese, cheddar, Monterrey Jack, onion powder, garlic powder, salt and pepper until smooth and creamy. Spoon into the pepper going a little more than level with the sides. Wrap each stuffed pepper with bacon. Wrapping so the bacon seam is on the bottom and place on baking sheet.
- Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until bacon is browned. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- Pick jalapeno peppers without striations or lines in the outer skin. They should be smooth, green and without white lines or flecks.
- For mild jalapeno poppers remove the veins and seeds from the peppers.
- Don’t be tempted to overfill the peppers. Fill to even with the sides or maybe a pinch over or the cheese may cook out and make a mess.
- Wrap the bacon around the pepper so the seam is on the bottom of the pepper. Then place seam side down on parchment or aluminum covered baking sheets.
- For added bacon crispiness turn the broiler on the last minute of cooking. Be aware that broilers in most ovens are unpredictable so stay close by and peek a couple of times. If you are not familiar with your broiler or you have an ancient stove it might be best if you skip this step.
