**Recipe 3: Bacon-Wrapped Jalapeño Poppers – A Party Favorite**
Our bacon-wrapped jalapeño poppers are the ultimate party appetizer, combining the classic flavors of bacon and jalapeños with a creamy, cheesy filling.

Each bite offers a delightful combination of textures and flavors that will have your guests clamoring for more.
BACON WRAPPED JALAPEñO POPPERS
The all-in-one finger food for a party, our Bacon Wrapped Jalapeño Poppers are simply the best that you'll find. The filling for these peppers is ultra savory with garlic powder and Worcestershire sauce giving a mouth-smacking layer of flavor to the tang of cream cheese and the punchy sharpness of cheddar. While all of these things are mixed together and stuffed into the hollowed out halves of jalapeño peppers, the greatest upgrade for this bite-sized snack is its outer layer. Each stuffed pepper is surrounded in a band of high-quality bacon, adding a chewy and smoky exterior to an already decadent stuffed pepper. In the oven, the fat that renders from the bacon conducts heat onto the surface of the pepper, encouraging it to blister and char in places while the rest of the pepper cooks through. The end result is a tender and mildly spicy snack stuffed with a creamy filling that balances the jalapeño's heat alongside the chewy richness of delicious bacon. You can assure guests that you removed the seeds of the peppers, so they shouldn't be too hot to enjoy. Put these out alongside other snacks and watch them disappear at an alarming rate.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside.
- With a hand mixer, beat together cream cheese, cheddar, garlic powder, kosher salt, and Worcestershire sauce. Fill each of the hollowed jalapeño halves with 1 tablespoon of the cheese mixture.
- Cut each slice of bacon in half so there are 16 shorter pieces of bacon. Wrap each jalapeño in a piece of bacon and insert a toothpick to hold the bacon in place; transfer to prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining stuffed jalapeños.
- Bake until bacon is cooked through and the cheese begins to brown in spots, about 25 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly before removing toothpicks. Transfer to a serving platter and garnish with fresh dill if desired.

Steps:
- Wear gloves to protect your hands and use a small paring knife to cut the stem-end off the jalapeño; you should see the white ribs attached to the walls of the jalapeño. Use the paring knife to remove the ribs from the walls. Make a cut down the length of the jalapeño from the top to the tip. Carefully, without breaking the jalapeño in half, scrape out the ribs and seeds. Transfer to a microwave-safe bowl, add 3 tablespoons water, cover tightly with plastic wrap and microwave on high power until the jalapeños turn olive green and are lightly softened but are still firm and hold their shape, 2 to 3 minutes. Let cool.
- Stuff each cooled jalapeño with a piece of cream cheese; squeeze the walls around the cream cheese to force out any air pockets and to seal the jalapeño walls together.
- Mix together the cumin, 1 tablespoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl. Pound the chicken lengthwise down the breast to make a rectangular 1/4-inch-thick cutlet. Sprinkle with a quarter of the seasoned salt. Repeat with the remaining chicken and seasoned salt.
- With one of the narrow ends of the chicken facing you, lay a piece of Colby Jack cheese at the bottom of the cutlet. Place 1 stuffed jalapeño crosswise on top of the cheese about 2 inches from the bottom. Tightly roll up the chicken and the cheese around the jalapeño, folding in the sides as you roll. Repeat with the remaining chicken and jalapeños.
- Lay 5 strips of bacon on a clean work surface so that the strips are slightly overlapping (about 1/4-inch) and are wide enough to completely cover a chicken roll. Place 1 chicken roll at the bottom of the bacon blanket. Wrap the bacon tightly over the chicken roll. Repeat with the remaining bacon and chicken rolls.
- Prepare a grill for indirect grilling and heat to medium-high heat.
- Place the chicken rolls, bacon seam-side down, on the cooler side of the grill. Cover and cook until the bacon is beginning to brown and the cheese is beginning to melt and ooze from the sides, 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer the chicken rolls to the hot side of the grill and cook until lightly charred, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Let cool 10 minutes before serving.

Steps:
- Mix cream cheese, garlic, sundried tomatoes, cilantro and salt until well blended. You can now set the mixture aside or even freeze for up to a couple of months in a freezer bag.
- You'll want to wear some kitchen gloves for this step! Slice the jalapeños lengthwise, being careful not to slice them in half. Then slice at the top along the width of the pepper just about a quarter inch below the base of the stem until you cut through the core, again being careful not to cut completely through the pepper (This step will probably take some practice). Now you need to decide whether you want to keep the seed webbing for those that like it really hot, or remove them for a lot less heat. I like to do about half and half so that you can please everyone. Anyway, if removing the seeds, gently remove the core using a paring knife by spreading the pepper carefully, you may need to shake some of the remaining seeds out.
- Separate the strips of bacon and cook in the microwave for about 5 minutes on high, just enough to give it a head start. Then pat dry with paper towels. Just to soak up some of the grease. Set it aside to cool.
- Fill either a pastry bag or just a freezer bag (cutting one corner out), and pipe some of the filling into each pepper until full but still able to almost close the pepper.
- Wrap each pepper with a strip of bacon then use two or three toothpicks to secure the pepper closed.
- Place the jalapeños on a medium heat grill and cook until the bacon is crisp. you'll need to turn frequently to heat them evenly. you may even want to use foil to prevent the mess. I find that by cooking the bacon a little first and not over filling that you'll get minimal mess however.
- Let them sit for about 5 to 10 minutes and serve them up! Don't forget which ones have the seeds!

Tips:
- Choose the right size jalapeños. You want jalapeños that are about 2-3 inches long, as they will be easier to wrap with the bacon.
- Don't forget to wear gloves when handling jalapeños. The capsaicin in the jalapeños can irritate your skin, so it's important to protect your hands.
- Slice the jalapeños in half lengthwise, but not all the way through. You want to leave the jalapeños attached at the stem so that they can be easily stuffed.
- Remove the seeds and ribs from the jalapeños. This will help to reduce the spiciness of the jalapeños.
- Fill the jalapeños with your favorite filling. You can use cream cheese, cheese, or a combination of both.
- Wrap the jalapeños with bacon. Make sure that the bacon is wrapped tightly around the jalapeños so that it doesn't fall off during cooking.
- Bake the jalapeños in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the bacon is cooked through.
- Serve the jalapeños hot or at room temperature.
Conclusion:
Bacon-wrapped jalapeño poppers are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for parties or gatherings. They are also a great way to use up leftover bacon. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a dish that everyone will love.
