Ingredients
- 12 lices Bacon thin
- 12 Jalapeno peppers 4-5 inch long peppers
- 8 oz cream cheese softened
- 4 oz sharp cheddar cheese shredded (See Note 1)
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp garlic powder
Serving
- ranch dressing
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking tray with parchment paper or foil and lay bacon slices on it (no overlapping). Bake for 10 minutes.
- Remove bacon from the baking tray and cut each piece in half. Lay on a paper towel lined plate. Place a wire rack in baking tray. Spray the wire rack with cooking spray. Set aside.
- Wearing gloves (optional), slice the jalapeños in half lengthwise being sure to keep stem on if possible. Using a small spoon, scoop out the veins and seeds, discard. Place on lined baking tray cut side up.
- In a bowl mix together the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, Worcestershire sauce and garlic powder.
- Carefully fill each jalapeño with the cheese mixture. I take a small scoop and mold it in my hands into a small cigar shape and press it into each jalapeño shell, otherwise spoon and press mixture into jalapeno.
- Wrap each jalapeno half with a half slice of bacon, secure bacon with a toothpick if needed. Arrange the wrapped jalapeno poppers on the wire rack.
- Bake for 20 minutes or until bacon is crispy and cheese is melted. Allow to cool 5 minutes before serving. Save bacon grease for other use (optional). I like to serve with Ranch dressing.

Notes
- Consider shredding your own cheddar cheese! Most pre-shredded cheeses are coated with potato starch which makes the melted cheese a little clumpy. You could also use pepper jack cheese, or a combo of each.
