Report
These stuffed jalapenos are easy to make and so good! The combination of jalapenos, bacon, and a creamy, cheesy filling is amazing.

Ingredients
- 12 fresh jalapeño peppers about 4 inches long
- 8 ounces cream cheese softened
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 cup cheddar cheese sharp, shredded
- 12 lices Bacon cut in half crosswise
- Olive oil spray
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with high-heat-resistant parchment paper.
- Cut the peppers in half lengthwise and use a paring knife and a small sharp spoon to scoop out the seeds and membranes.
- In a medium bowl, use a spatula to mix together the softened cream cheese, kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and shredded cheddar. Stuff the jalapeños with the mixture, dividing it evenly.
- Arrange the peppers, cheese side up, in the prepared pan. Wrap the bacon pieces around their middle, seam side down. Lightly spray their tops with olive oil.
- Bake the peppers until the bacon is browned, about 20 minutes. Serve them immediately and watch them disappear in minutes!
Notes
- It's a good idea to wear gloves while handling jalapenos. They are quite potent.
- Try not to overfill the jalapeños, or the filling could ooze out while they bake. You might end up with a bit of extra filling, especially if your jalapeños are smaller (3 inches long rather than 4).
- Instead of cutting the bacon slices in two and wrapping them around the middle of the peppers, you can use a whole slice per pepper and wrap them all around the peppers. The video above shows the first option. The photos on this page show the latter one.
- You can keep the leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days. Reheat them uncovered in a 350°F oven. This is one of those recipes where the leftovers are just as good as the freshly cooked dish.
