Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces fresh jalapenos
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 cup crispy fried onions (optional)
- 12 pieces bacon strips
- 12 pieces toothpicks
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Slice each jalapeno in half lengthwise and use a small spoon to scoop out the seeds and membranes. Wear gloves to protect your hands from the spicy oils.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and crispy fried onions (if using). Mix until smooth and well blended.
Fill each jalapeno half with the cream cheese mixture, using enough to slightly mound over the top.
Wrap each stuffed jalapeno half with a slice of bacon, securing it in place with a toothpick.
Place the wrapped jalapenos on the prepared baking sheet, evenly spaced apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the cheese filling is bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your Smokin' Jalapeno Poppers!
