Easy Bacon Wrapped Jalapeno Popper
Let's get the party started with this 4-ingredient Easy Bacon Wrapped Jalapeno Popper recipe. I have to admit, I have a weakness for jalapeno poppers. These bacon-wrapped jalapeno poppers are baked instead of fried and they’re even better than the fried version. Who can resist fresh jalapenos stuffed with cream cheese, cheddar cheese, and wrapped in crispy bacon, it doesn't get much better than this.

Equipment
- Non-Stick Cookie Sheet
Ingredients
- 1 Pound Bacon
- 10 Jalapeno Peppers (halved and seeds removed)
- 8 oz Cream Cheese (softened)
- ½ Cup Cheddar Cheese (shredded)
Instructions
- Cut the tops off the jalapenos and cut them in half. Remove the ribs and seeds.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- In a bowl add the cream cheese and cheddar cheese and combine well. I used Pepper Jack cheese because it is what I had on hand. You can use really any cheese you like.
- Fill one-half of the jalapeno with the cream cheese mixture and top with the other half of the pepper.
- Wrap both cream cheese-filled halves with bacon and place on a cookie sheet.
- Continue to do this until you run out of cream cheese and peppers.
- Place the cookie sheet into the oven to bake for 30-35 minutes. Or until the jalapenos are to your desired tenderness and the bacon is crisp.
