How to Make Bacon Wrapped Cajun Jalapenos
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Cut 1 pound of jalapenos in half lengthwise.
- Remove seeds and membranes from jalapenos; reserve for a spicier kick if desired.
- In a medium bowl, combine 4 ounces cream cheese (softened), 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese, and 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning. Mix well.
- Stuff about 1 1/2 teaspoons of the cheese mixture into each jalapeno half.
- Cut 8 slices of bacon in half widthwise, yielding 16 bacon halves.
- Wrap a bacon half around each stuffed jalapeno.
- Secure with a toothpick.
- Place jalapenos on a wire rack set inside a shallow baking pan to allow for even cooking and prevent sticking.
- Bake uncovered for 25-30 minutes, or until bacon is crispy and jalapenos are tender.
- Remove from oven, discard toothpicks, and serve immediately. Enjoy!
