Ingredients

6 Jalapeños
12 slices Bacon
6 oz Cream Cheese

Instructions

Cut the jalapeños in half lengthwise and use a spoon to scrape out the seeds and membrane.
Spoon approximately 2 teaspoons of cream cheese into the middle of each jalapeño. Then wrap a slice of the bacon around each of the jalapeños and secure the bacon onto the jalapeño with a toothpick.
Preheat a grill over medium high heat (approximately 400 degrees F). Then place the bacon wrapped jalapeños directly on the grill and cook for 20-25 minutes until the bacon is cooked and crispy. Rotate the bacon approximately every 2-3 minutes to keep them from burning.
Remove from the grill and let the set for approximately 5 minutes. Then serve and enjoy!

Notes

Recipe Tips

Softened Cream Cheese - Before spreading the cream cheese mixture on the jalapenos, make sure it is softened to room temperature.
Cream Cheese and Cheddar - Feel free to add in cheese to the cream cheese for added flavor and a delicious variation.
Wear Gloves - We recommend you wear gloves before slicing the jalapenos.

How to Cook in the Oven

If you wanting jalapeno poppers but it is cold outside, make them in your oven. The bacon will still crisp up and the jalapeno will still cook tender.

Place the bacon wrapped jalapeños on a baking sheet lined with foil. Bake at 400 degrees F for 25 minutes until the bacon is cooked through and crispy.

We have even made them in our air fryer and they turned out crispy and delicious
