ULTIMATE JALAPENO POPPERS
Prep: 10 min Cook: 20 min Serves: 6
Ingredients
6 jalapeños, halved (seeds removed)
1 cup cream cheese
1 package of Naked Bacon
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/3 cup diced green peppers
1/4 cup diced red onion
2 cloves diced garlic
pinch salt and pepper
2 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
-
Heat oven to 400'
-
Cook bacon partially for 7-10 minutes (this will make it crispier when the poppers are actually cooked).
-
Microwave cream cheese in a bowl for 1 1/2 minutes or until smooth.
-
Add shredded cheese, garlic, green peppers, onion, salt, and pepper to the cream cheese mixture and stir.
-
Fill jalapeños with cream cheese mixture and wrap with the partially cooked bacon.
-
Use a toothpick to secure the bacon.
-
On a sheet pan, lay down foil coated with the olive oil and cook the poppers at 425' for 10 minutes or until crispy. You may also use a cast iron skillet with olive to fry the poppers.
