Ingredients
- 12 jalapeños
- 8 oz cream cheese room temp
- 1 garlic clove minced
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp ground black pepper
- 3 Tbsp green onion chopped
- 1 cup shredded mild cheddar cheese
- 6 oz Bacon cooked and chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Halve the jalapenos lengthwise*. Use a spoon to remove the seeds and membranes from the jalapenos. Discard.
- In a large bowl, combine the cream cheese, garlic, salt, pepper, green onion, shredded cheese, and cooked bacon for the filling. Use a fork to mash the mixture until everything is well incorporated.
- Fill the jalapeno halves with the mixture to sit level with the sides. Don't be tempted to overstuff them. Place the stuffed jalapenos on a baking sheet and bake at 400°F for 18-20 minutes, or until the cheese melts golden in color. Serve warm or cooled to room temperature.

Notes
