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.

  • Core the peppers carefully: Use a sharp knife to make a lengthwise slit in each pepper and remove the seeds and ribs. Be careful not to cut too deeply, or you will split the pepper.
  • Mix the filling ingredients thoroughly: Make sure the filling ingredients are well combined so that the flavors are evenly distributed.
  • Don't overstuff the peppers: The filling should be packed tightly into the peppers, but not so tightly that they burst open.
