Servings: 24 servings
Equipment
- Silicone Pot Holder Trivet Mats - Hot Pads Spoon Rest, Multipurpose Trivet for Hot Dishers Heat Resistant Food Grade Silicone Set of 4
Ingredients
- 8 ounces cream cheese softened
- 1 ½ cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 2 green onions thinly sliced
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- 12 large jalapenos
- 12 slices bacon cut in half
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray and set it aside.
- In a medium-sized bowl, mix the cream cheese, cheddar cheese, green onions, garlic powder, and onion powder until well combined.
- Cut the jalapenos in half length-wise and remove the ribs and seeds.
- Using the cream cheese filling mixture, fill the inside of the jalapenos. Do not overfill. You want it just to the edge of the jalapeno. Place the filled jalapenos on the prepared sheet tray.
- Wrap each jalapeno in with a slice of bacon and secure it with a toothpick.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes until the bacon is crispy.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- Make sure you remove the ribs and all the seeds from the jalapenos unless you like it super spicy.
- You don’t want to overfill the jalapenos because more cheese will overflow when cooking. Some overflow is expected but by not overfilling, it helps keep it to a minimum.
- The ratio of filling to jalapeno depends on the size of the jalapeno, I like to use larger jalapenos so that way I use all the filing. If you can only find small jalapenos, I would suggest using more so you don’t waste the filling.
