Serves
16 poppers
Ingredients
- 8 jalapeno peppers
- 4 oz. cream cheese, softened
- 4 oz. shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 Tbsp. chili powder
- 1 Tbsp. garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 16 thin-cut bacon
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Slice the jalapeno peppers in half lengthwise and scoop out the insides with a spoon.
- Add the cream cheese, cheddar cheese and seasonings to a bowl and mix well.
- Fill each jalapeno pepper half with the spicy cheese mixture. You might have some leftover, depending on the size of your peppers. Just distribute evenly.
- Wrap each stuffed jalapeno boat with a slice of bacon. Pierce with toothpicks to hold the bacon in place.
- Sprinkle them with extra chili powder and bake the jalapeno poppers about 20-30 minutes, or until the peppers soften and the bacon is starting to crisp. You can blast them with the broiler a couple of minutes at the end if you need to.
- Remove from heat, cool slightly, and serve.
