Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 12 small to medium jalapenos
  • 12 slices bacon
  • 6 oz cream cheese
  • ¼ cup shredded cheddar cheese ((gently packed))
  • ¼ tsp smoked paprika
  • ½ tsp onion powder

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 400° F.
  • Cut the jalapenos in half, remove the seeds, and place them on a parchment paper lined baking sheet.
  • In a medium bowl, use a fork to combine the cream cheese cheddar, smoked paprika and onion powder.
  • Divide the mixture into roughly 24 pieces, then roll between clean hands until the cheese resembles a thick noodle. Place the cheese in the jalapeno halves.
  • Cut the bacon strips in half and wrap them around the jalapenos. The bacon will shrink as it bakes so I overlap the bacon quite a bit so that the bacon creates a solid "strip" when it's finished baking.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes.
