Bacon-Wrapped Jalapeño Poppers

These jalapeño poppers are creamy in the middle with crispy bacon on the outside. They're super easy to make and taste so much better than traditional poppers.

Ingredients:

½ cup cream cheese
½ cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
12 jalapeño peppers, halved lengthwise, seeds and membranes removed
12 slices bacon

Directions:

Step 1: Gather ingredients. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.

Step 2: Mix cream cheese and Cheddar cheese together in a bowl until evenly blended. Fill each jalapeño half with cheese mixture.

Step 3: Put halves back together and wrap each stuffed pepper with a slice of bacon. Arrange bacon-wrapped jalapeño peppers on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 4: Bake in the preheated oven until bacon is crispy, 25 to 35 minutes.

Step 5: Serve poppers hot with your favorite dipping sauce. Enjoy!

Tips:

Wear gloves when handling jalapeños to avoid burning your hands.
Remove all seeds and membranes for milder poppers, or leave some seeds for extra heat.
Secure bacon with toothpicks if needed to keep it wrapped during baking.
Yields 12 jalapeño poppers (6 servings).
