cheesy bacon jalapenos

Halved jalapeños stuffed with cream cheese, shredded cheese, paprika, and garlic and wrapped up with crispy bacon. If you like spicy, you will love these! 

Bacon Wrapped Cheesy Stuffed Jalapeños

jalapeño peppers*

cream cheese, softened to room temperature

cheddar cheese*

garlic, chopped

smoked paprika

bacon,

toothpicks

Preheat oven to 400°F (204°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper (best for clean-up) or a silicone baking mat. Place a baking rack on top of the baking sheet. Set aside.

Cut the jalapeño peppers in half lengthwise; remove seeds and center membrane. Set aside.

Using a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the cream cheese, cheddar cheese, garlic, and paprika together until combined. You could also do this by hand using a rubber spatula. Salt to taste &#8211; I add just a pinch. Spoon filling equally among all 24 jalapeño halves.

Wrap each stuffed jalapeño with a half slice of bacon and stick a toothpick through the center to assure the bacon stays in place. Place each on the baking rack and bake for 25-28 minutes or until the bacon is crisp to your liking. I like to turn the oven to broil for the last minute or two to get things extra crispy. Serve immediately. Cover leftovers and keep in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

Made these last night, they were fantastic!  Our garden gave us a second HUGE harvest of jalapenos which were huge and the perfect size to use for this recipe.  Next time I'll leave some of the seeds in since cleaning them out completely made them too mild.  Thank you!

Bacon-Wrapped Cheesy Stuffed Jalapeños | Sally's Baking Addiction

Halved jalapeños stuffed with cream cheese, shredded cheese, paprika, and garlic and wrapped up with crispy bacon. If you like spicy, you will love these!

Using a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the cream cheese, cheddar cheese, garlic, and paprika together until combined. You could also do this by hand using a rubber spatula. Salt to taste—I add just a pinch. Spoon filling equally among all 24 jalapeño halves.

These are delicious! One of my favorite appetizers!

I love this recipe, but I really struggled to get my bacon to crisp. I ended up cooking it so long that the peppers and cheese were just mush. I think next time I would cook the bacon slightly first then wrap the poppers.

I do cook the bacon on a parchment lined cookie.sheet until it is about half cooked but still pliable before wrapping the peppers.  Depending on the bacon you may have to use a whole strip. Works well for us. Stuffing doesn't melt out before bacon is done.

These were a hit at home and at work! I made them just as directed including turning to broiler for the last 4 minutes and they came out perfect. The paprika gave it a really nice smoky flavor. Thank you for your recipe!

Yep, you’re right! These disappeared in no time even though the table was filled with food. I was a little nervous when my 81 yr old mother grabbed one and ate it and she had no drink  But she promptly grabbed another! Seems the small jalapeños are hotter...? That seemed to be true for us. My 25 yr old kept praising them and talking about them for days. Hence, I’m making them again today! I am so happy to have found another side item for my Mexican fiestas! Thanks Sally!! PS I had no issues with the bacon!

Great recipe!  I use thin  smoked bacon and cook it 1/2 way.  That makes a huge difference!  Love them

I’ve been making this recipe for so many years. It’s scrumptious! Thank you for sharing!

I fill the 2 halves then put them back together, wrap with bacon, stick with toothpick. Next they go on gas grill with pans of water underneath to keep flare ups from happening with bacon grease dripping down.

I just made this recipe for the first time, and it is amazing!! I didn’t have smoked paprika, but I did have smoked cheddar. I love sweet/spicy combo, so I added honey to the cheese mixture along with a few seeds. I baked at 400 for 25 minutes, then turned on the broiler and watched the bacon get crisp (about 3 to 4 minutes), and they turned out perfect. I made extra and look forward to pulling them from the fridge and cooking them tomorrow!!

P.S. I used a raspberry dressing for dipping sauce.

I’ve made this recipe for a few years now, never have any leftovers. 
They are absolutely delicious!!!

Excellent recipe, first time making poppers. Do yourself a favor and throw a handful of cherry tomatoes in the drip pan to roast in bacon fat. Then put one of the tomatoes on top of each popper for serving.

If you like spicy, you will love these! Halved jalapeños are stuffed with cream cheese, shredded cheese, paprika, and garlic and wrapped up with crispy bacon. Absolutely incredible!
