Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 package (16 ounces) thick-sliced bacon
  • 8 - 10 medium jalapeños
  • 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese (softened)
  • 1/2 cup Craisins

Instruction

  • Begin by preheating your oven to 350 degrees F. Line a sheet pan with aluminum foil and set a wire cooling rack on top of it. Lay out the bacon evenly. Bake for about 8 minutes. (The bacon will not be fully cooked; this is just to get it started.)
  • In the meantime, prepare your jalapeños by slicing them in half. Then remove the seeds and white flesh with a spoon. (It's highly recommended that you wear gloves during this process.)
  • In a medium bowl, mix together the cream cheese and Craisins. Then use a spatula to fill the jalapeño halves with the cream cheese mixture. The cream cheese should be level with the top of the jalapeño half.
  • Next, wrap your filled jalapeños with the partially-cooked bacon. Depending on the size of the jalapeño, you can use a whole slice of bacon or cut it in half. A whole slice is recommended. Just tuck the bacon into itself or the jalapeño to keep it tightly wrapped.
  • Place your wrapped jalapeños back onto the wire cooling rack in your foil-lined baking pan. Return to the oven set at 350 degrees F and bake for 20 - 25 minutes or until the bacon is fully cooked.
