How to Make Bacon Wrapped Jalapeno Poppers
- Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C).
- Cut 1 pound of jalapeños in half lengthwise and remove seeds and membranes.
- In a medium bowl, mix together 8 ounces of softened cream cheese, 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
- Fill each jalapeño half with the cream cheese mixture.
- Wrap each jalapeño half with 1/2 slice of bacon (about 6-8 slices total). Secure with a toothpick if needed.
- Arrange jalapeño poppers on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until bacon is crispy and cheese is melted and bubbly.
- (Optional) For extra cheesy goodness and to prevent cheese from oozing out, freeze the stuffed jalapeños for 20-60 minutes before baking.
- Remove from oven, let cool slightly, and serve immediately. Enjoy!
