Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 whole Jalapeno peppers
- 8 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 12 whole Bacon slices
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, approximately 375°F (190°C).
Put on gloves to protect your hands from the spicy oil in the jalapenos. Slice each jalapeno in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and membranes using a small spoon or knife.
In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well blended.
Fill each jalapeno half with the cream cheese mixture, pressing gently to ensure the filling is secure.
Wrap each filled jalapeno half with a slice of bacon, starting at one end and spiraling around to the other, ensuring the filling is covered. Secure the ends of the bacon with toothpicks if necessary.
Place the jalapeno poppers on the grill over indirect heat to avoid flare-ups from the bacon fat. Close the grill lid and cook for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the bacon is crisp and the jalapenos are tender.
Remove from grill and allow to cool slightly before serving. Be cautious, as the cheese filling will be hot.
Serve warm and enjoy your delicious low carb grilled jalapeno poppers.
