Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 whole jalapenos
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 12 slices bacon
- 12 pieces toothpicks
- 1 spray bottle cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top. Lightly coat the rack with cooking spray.
Wash the jalapenos and cut them in half lengthwise. Use a small spoon to carefully scoop out the seeds and membranes. Set the jalapeno halves aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika. Mix until fully combined and smooth.
Using a spoon or piping bag, fill each jalapeno half with the cream cheese mixture, leveling the filling to the top of the pepper.
Wrap each stuffed jalapeno half with a slice of bacon, securing the bacon in place with a toothpick.
Place the bacon-wrapped jalapenos on the prepared wire rack, ensuring they are evenly spaced.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the cheese filling is bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
