Print Recipe
Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 12 large jalapeno peppers
  • 1 package cream cheese 8 oz, softened
  • 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 12 slices bacon

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. 
  2. Cut into jalapenos lengthwise, remove seeds fully and discard seeds.  (If you have sensitive skin you may want to wear gloves for this or at least wash your hands as soon as you finish).
  3. In a bowl, mix cream cheese, cheddar cheese, cumin and garlic powder until combined.  
  4. Precook bacon to get most of the grease out.  You still want it soft so you can shape it around each jalapeno.
  5. Fill insides of each jalapeno with the cheese mixture.  
  6. Wrap each cheese filled jalapeno with a slice of bacon.   
  7. Place wrapped jalapeno poppers on a baking pan.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes until bacon is fully crispy pepper has softened.
