How do I make these Bacon Wrapped Stuffed

Jalapenos

It’s EASY!

Step 1:

Preheat oven to 400 F.

Step 2:

Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 3:

In a small bowl, mix cream cheese, cheddar cheese and chili powder.

Step 4:

Wearing disposable gloves (optional), cut jalapenos in half and seed.

Step 5:

Fill each jalapeno half evenly with cream cheese filling; about 3 tsp.

Step 6:

Wrap each jalapeno with half a slice of bacon.

Allow to cool 5 minutes before serving.

Key Ingredients & Substitutions:

•  Jalapenos– mildly spicy without burning your mouth off. 

• Cream cheese– use a full fat plain cream cheese.

• Cheddar Cheese- I chose cheddar cheese but any grated hard cheese would work (ie mozzarella, monterey jack, gouda).  If you really like things spicy, choose a spicy cheese like a mozzerella with jalapeno or habernero.
