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
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, approximately 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
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.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Fill each jalapeno half with the cream cheese mixture, pressing gently to ensure the filling is secure.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
Remove from grill and allow to cool slightly before serving. Be cautious, as the cheese filling will be hot.
Step 8
Serve warm and enjoy your delicious low carb grilled jalapeno poppers.
