TEXAS-STYLE STUFFED JALAPENOS



Texas-Style Stuffed Jalapenos image

Jalapenos are stuffed with a cream cheese and cheddar mixture, topped with some meaty bacon, and baked until the bacon is crisp and the cheese is bubbly.

Time 45m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 6

8 large jalapenos
1 package (8 ounce size) reduced-fat or regular cream cheese, softened
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
1 dash garlic powder
1 dash salt
8 slices hickory-smoked bacon, cut in half

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Slice the jalapenos in half lengthwise. Carefully scoop out the ribs and seeds (be sure to wear gloves while handling hot peppers). Set the jalapenos aside on a baking sheet with sides, cut sides up. In a large bowl, combine the cream cheese, shredded Cheddar, garlic powder, and salt until well mixed. Using a small spoon, stuff a generous amount of the cheese mixture into the jalapeno halves. You want them well stuffed but not overflowing too much or the cheese will run out when it melts. Wrap a half bacon slice around each jalapeno and secure it with a toothpick or place it on top to cover the cheese. Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake at 450 degrees F for 15-20 minutes or until the bacon is crisp and brown and the cheese is melted. Remove the jalapenos from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.

BACON WRAPPED CHEESY STUFFED JALAPEñOS



Bacon Wrapped Cheesy Stuffed Jalapeños image

Halved jalapeños stuffed with cream cheese, shredded cheese, paprika, and garlic and wrapped up with crispy bacon. If you like spicy, you will love these!

Provided by Sally

Categories     Appetizer

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 7

12 fresh jalapeño peppers*
8 ounces cream cheese, softened to room temperature
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese*
1 clove garlic, chopped
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
12 slices bacon, cut in half
24 toothpicks

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F (204°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper (best for clean-up) or a silicone baking mat. Place a baking rack on top of the baking sheet. Set aside.
  • Cut the jalapeño peppers in half lengthwise; remove seeds and center membrane. Set aside.
  • Using a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the cream cheese, cheddar cheese, garlic, and paprika together until combined. You could also do this by hand using a rubber spatula. Salt to taste - I add just a pinch. Spoon filling equally among all 24 jalapeño halves.
  • Wrap each stuffed jalapeño with a half slice of bacon and stick a toothpick through the center to assure the bacon stays in place. Place each on the baking rack and bake for 25-28 minutes or until the bacon is crisp to your liking. I like to turn the oven to broil for the last minute or two to get things extra crispy. Serve immediately. Cover leftovers and keep in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
