How to Make Bacon Wrapped Cajun Jalapenos

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