Ingredients
- 12 whole jalapeno peppers
- 8 oz cream cheese
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp smoked paprika
- 6 whole bacon slices
- 0.25 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
Step 2
Wash the jalapeno peppers and carefully slice them in half lengthwise. Remove the seeds and membranes using a small spoon or knife to reduce spiciness.
Step 3
In a medium bowl, mix the cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Step 4
Fill each jalapeno half with the cream cheese mixture using a small spoon, packing it tightly to ensure they are full.
Step 5
Cut the bacon slices in half and wrap one half-slice around each stuffed jalapeno, securing it with a toothpick if needed.
Step 6
Arrange the jalapeno poppers on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced out and stable.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the cheese is bubbly and slightly golden.
Step 8
Allow the poppers to cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy them as an appetizer or snack!
