Ingredients
- 12 whole Jalapeno peppers
- 8 oz Cream cheese
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 slices Cooked and crumbled bacon
- 3 tablespoons Finely chopped green onions
- 2 tablespoons Unflavored protein powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0 Olive oil cooking spray
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Step 2
Wash the jalapeno peppers thoroughly. Then, slice each pepper in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and membranes for a milder flavor.
Step 3
In a medium bowl, combine cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, chopped green onions, unflavored protein powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Step 4
Stuff each jalapeno half with the cheese mixture, pressing gently to pack it tightly.
Step 5
Lightly spray the grill grates or a grill-safe baking sheet with olive oil cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Step 6
Place the stuffed jalapeno halves on the grill, stuffed side up.
Step 7
Grill for approximately 10-15 minutes, or until the jalapenos are tender and the cheese filling is golden and bubbling.
Step 8
Carefully remove from the grill using tongs, and let them cool slightly before serving.
Step 9
Serve warm and enjoy!
