Notes
- These Bacon Wrapped Jalapeño Poppers are low carb and keto friendly.
- Traeger smoker: Arrange jalapeño poppers on a rimmed baking sheet or in a cast iron skillet and place on the grill grates. Close the lid and set grill temperature to 375℉. Close the lid and cook until the bacon is cooked to your desired doneness, about 30 minutes.
- Bacon: I recommend purchasing thin-cut bacon for this recipe for even cooking, but don't be skimpy! Use a whole piece of bacon for each popper. If using thick-cut bacon, cut bacon in half.
- If you're hosting a big party: I recommend doubling this recipe.
- Make ahead: The peppers can be stuffed and wrapped in bacon up to 2 days in advance and refrigerated.
- Let cool: Let the poppers cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.
- Storage: Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
