Ingredients

Peppers

  • 8 medium jalapenos

Filling

  • 6 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 green onion, thinly sliced

Wrap

  • 8 slices regular cut bacon, cut in half crosswise

Directions

  1. Heat oven to 400°F. Set a wire rack inside a foil lined rimmed baking sheet.
  2. Wearing gloves, cut the jalapenos in half lengthwise. Scrape out the seeds and white ribs with a small spoon. Leave a few ribs in if you like more heat.
  3. Stir the cream cheese, cheddar, garlic powder and green onion together until smooth.
  4. Fill each of the 16 jalapeno halves with the cheese mixture, mounding it slightly.
  5. Wrap each half with a half slice of bacon, tucking the ends underneath. Use a toothpick if a wrap will not stay put.
  6. Arrange the poppers on the rack, cheese side up. Bake 20 to 25 minutes, until the bacon is browned and crisp and the filling is bubbling.
  7. Cool 5 minutes before serving. The filling is very hot.
Tip: Regular cut bacon cooks through in the same time as the peppers. Thick cut bacon tends to stay limp.
Dad jokeWhy did the jalapeno put on a sweater? Because it was feeling a little chili.
