Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 12 large jalapenos halved and seeded
  • 12 strips bacon cut in half
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar
  • 1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp onion powder
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 400F. Place a wire rack on a foil lined sheet pan.
  2. Halve jalapenos and scoop out seeds.
  3. Mix cream cheese, cheddar, Monterey Jack, garlic, and spices.
  4. Fill each jalapeno half with 1 tbsp of the cheese mixture.
  5. Wrap with half a strip of bacon, tucking ends underneath.
  6. Bake 22 to 28 minutes until bacon is crispy and cheese is bubbling.
  7. Top with chives. Serve with ranch or blue cheese.

Notes

Use a wire rack for crispy bacon. Room temperature cream cheese blends smoothly. Wear gloves when handling jalapenos.
