Ingredients
The following ingredients have 30 Servings
- 15-16 fresh jalapenos
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 pkg (1 oz) Old El Paso Taco Seasoning Mix
- 2/3 cup water
- 4 tablespoons cream cheese, (softened)
- 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
- 1/2 lb bacon (the amount you need will depend on the size of your peppers. You will need approximately 1 slice of bacon per pepper)
Instruction
- Preheat the oven to 375ºF. Line a baking sheet with foil and set aside.
- Cut the jalapeños in half lengthwise. Remove the seeds and the ribs and discard.
- Brown the ground beef in a large skillet. Drain any grease if necessary. Add the taco seasoning and 2/3 cup water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered, until thickened, 3 to 4 minutes.
- Place the cream cheese in a large bowl, then add the cooked taco meat. Stir until combined. Stir in the shredded cheese.
- Fill each of the halved jalapeños with the taco meat, dividing evenly.
- Cut the bacon in half. Wrap one of the half slices of bacon around each of the jalapeños. Secure with a toothpick and place on the baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the bacon is cooked through. Crisp up under the broiler for a minute or two, if desired. Serve warm.
