Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces jalapenos
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 2 stalks green onions, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375-400°F).
Wash the jalapenos and slice them in half lengthwise. Use a spoon to carefully scoop out the seeds and membranes, leaving the peppers as hollow shells. Be cautious and consider wearing gloves to avoid skin irritation.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped green onions, garlic powder, smoked paprika, crumbled bacon, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until evenly combined.
Spoon the cheese mixture into each jalapeno half, filling them generously but not overflowing.
Lightly brush the outside of each jalapeno half with a thin layer of olive oil to prevent sticking on the grill.
Place the stuffed jalapenos on the grill, stuffed side up. Close the lid and cook for 8-10 minutes, or until the jalapenos are tender and the cheese filling is bubbling and slightly browned.
Carefully remove the jalapenos from the grill using tongs and place them on a serving platter.
Allow the stuffed jalapenos to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy them warm as an appetizer or snack!
