Ingredients
Scale
- 12 large jalapeños
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- 12 slices bacon, cut in half
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cut the jalapeños in half lengthwise. Remove the seeds and membranes using a spoon. Wear gloves to avoid irritation.
- In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, cheddar cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Spoon the cream cheese mixture evenly into each jalapeño half.
- Wrap each stuffed jalapeño half with a half-slice of bacon. Secure with a toothpick if needed.
- Place the wrapped jalapeños on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the jalapeños are tender.
- Let cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- For milder poppers, remove all seeds and membranes. For spicier poppers, leave some seeds in.
- You can grill these poppers as well. Grill over medium heat for about 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until bacon is crisp.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer for best results.
