A delicious plate of jalapeño poppers filled with cheese and wrapped in bacon, garnished with cilantro.

These jalapeño poppers are stuffed with a blend of cream cheese, cheddar cheese, and spices, then wrapped in bacon and baked until golden. The recipe takes about 30 minutes from start to finish and serves 8 people.

Ingredients

  • 16 fresh jalapeño peppers, halved and seeded
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 8 slices of bacon, cut in half
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prep the Jalapeños: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut the jalapeños in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and membranes for less heat.
  2. Make the Filling: 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 combined.
  3. Stuff the Jalapeños: Spoon the cheese mixture into each jalapeño half, filling generously.
  4. Wrap with Bacon: Take a half slice of bacon and wrap it around each stuffed jalapeño, securing it with a toothpick if necessary.
  5. Bake: Place the poppers on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the cheese is bubbly.
  6. Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired, and serve warm.
