Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 whole jalapeño peppers
- 8 oz cream cheese
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 0.5 tsp smoked paprika
- 12 slices bacon strips
- 24 pieces toothpicks
- 1 can nonstick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper and lightly spray with nonstick cooking spray.
Cut each jalapeño pepper in half lengthwise and use a spoon to carefully remove the seeds and membranes. Set the halved jalapeños aside.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
Using a small spoon, fill each jalapeño half with the cheese mixture. Be sure to slightly mound the filling so the poppers are generously stuffed.
Wrap each stuffed jalapeño half with one slice of bacon, starting at one end and overlapping slightly as you wrap. Secure the bacon with a toothpick at each end to keep it in place.
Place the bacon-wrapped jalapeño poppers on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they’re spaced out to allow even cooking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the cheese is bubbling.
Remove from the oven and let the poppers cool for a few minutes before serving.
Enjoy these flavorful treats immediately as-is or serve with your favorite dipping sauce!
