Oven Jalapeno Poppers
Great for any get-together, these baked jalapeno poppers are stuffed with a tasty blend of cream cheese, spices, and bacon, creating a nice mix of textures. Super simple to make!
Ingredients
- 10 jalapenos
- 6 ounces cream cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 8 ounces shredded cheddar cheese
- ¼ cup breadcrumbs
- 1 tablespoon butter melted
- ½ tablespoon fresh cilantro optional
- 12 ounces bacon cooked and crumbled
Instructions
- Cook the bacon until it is crispy. Allow it to cool and then chop until crumbled.
- Preheat the oven to 400 °F.
- Using gloves, slice the jalapenos in half lengthwise. Use a spoon to remove the seeds and membranes to hollow out the jalapenos.
- In a medium bowl, combine the cream cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, shredded cheese, and ¾ the bacon, using a hand mixer.
- Fill the sliced jalapenos with the cream cheese mixture.
- In a separate bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, melted butter, and cilantro.
- Sprinkle the top of the filled jalapenos with the bread crumbs.
- Bake for 20 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and sprinkle additional bacon crumbles on top of the jalapenos.
- Place back in the oven for an additional 5 minutes.
- Serve and enjoy.
Notes
- If the breadcrumbs are not browned and crispy, they can go under the broiler for a few minutes before adding the rest of the bacon.
