How to Cook Bacon Wrapped Jalapeño Peppers

We make these around here quite often. You can make a bunch for get-togethers, or just a few for yourself.

Step 1 of 13

You can easily vary this recipe. Just as long as you have peppers, cream cheese and bacon you're good to go! Just be sure to make a bunch because they are addictive!

Step 2 of 13

Although I don't have a problem working with jalapeños with my bare hands some people may experience burning. I suggest that you wear gloves (or plastic bags) when handling the peppers.

Step 3 of 13

Cut the jalapeños in half lengthwise. Leave the stem on.

Step 4 of 13

Remove the seeds and the white ribs or membranes. Here I'm using a spoon but a melon baller works even better.

Step 5 of 13

Before...

Step 6 of 13

After!

Step 7 of 13

Now they're ready to be stuffed. A couple seeds here and there is fine.

Step 8 of 13

For the filling, mix together the softened cream cheese, cheddar cheese and green onion.

Step 9 of 13

Stuff the peppers...

Step 10 of 13

...then wrap the peppers with the bacon and secure with a toothpick. Try not to stretch the bacon because it shrinks when cooking.

Step 11 of 13

Grill until the bacon is crisp. I like to grill mine on the top (indirect) rack of my gas grill. That way they can't burn. Otherwise just keep an eye on them for flare ups.

Step 12 of 13

You can also bake these in the oven at 350 degrees for 30 minutes or so.

Step 13 of 13

Don't forget to remove the toothpicks!

Ah feck lol - I cut the stems off accidentally. Guess I'll have to wrap that end in bacon so the cream cheese doesn't melt all out? Lol!

Good question John. I use about 1/2 cup of shredded cheese with one block of cream cheese.
