BEST EVER JALAPENO POPPERS



Best Ever Jalapeno Poppers image

This is a recipe I made by taking the best of three or four popper recipes and combining them to make something that tastes wonderful. A frequent request at my house, and at others. I usually make 100 and put them in the fridge. They don't last long. Adjust the amount of bacon bits and type of shredded cheese to taste. Increase the recipe as necessary! Lots of tests helps to best figure out the way you like it. Be sure to wear rubber gloves while seeding the jalapenos -- they will burn.

STUFFED JALAPEñO PEPPERS



Stuffed Jalapeño Peppers image

Make and share this Stuffed Jalapeño Peppers recipe from Food.com.

Provided by El Bistro

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 1h10m

Yield 10 Jalapeños, 3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

10 large jalapeno peppers, with stems
1 (8 ounce) package Philadelphia Cream Cheese
3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 ounce hidden valley ranch dressing mix
1 (12 ounce) package bacon

Steps:

  • cut a slit in each jalapeno pepper so that you can open it up. Remove the entire contents of the inside of the pepper. Leaving some of the placenta and seeds will result in a hotter pepper, so how much you clean on the inside is totally up to your taste. I recommend using disposable latex gloves while doing this, because failure to do so may result in unintended pains later -- particularly if you are a male :).
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  • Soften the cream cheese in the microwave for about 20 seconds.
  • Place the cream cheese in a bowl.
  • Add the ranch dressing powder and the grated cheese to the bowl with the cream cheese. MIx well.
  • Fill the jalapenos with the creame/ranch/cheese mixture.
  • Trim any excess fat from the bacon, preferably with kitchen scissors.
  • Wrap all of the peppers with the bacon.
  • Cook at 375 degrees for about 40 minutes. Keep an eye on them, because depending on the fat in the bacon, thickness of the bacon and so on, your time will vary. This can also be put on a grill -- it will take far less time but will demand your constant attention.
  • Enjoy the best stuffed jalapeños you have ever had.
