Need a kick? Jalapenos stuffed with cream cheese and wrapped with bacon will indeed fulfill your need for a kick and is super simple appetizer option for company. I first tried this amazing appetizer at my friend Laurie's house when her and her husband threw a get together a while back I never thought of myself as one that enjoys eating jalapenos, but I devoured these little guys!
Serves 4
Ingredients:
- 6 jalapenos
- 8 oz. light cream cheese, softened
- 6 slices bacon, cut in half
Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Start by cutting off stems of the jalapenos, and then halving them. Make sure to take out all those seeds, unless you really want to surprise your guests with a gnarly kick (could make for a nice practical joke). Stuff the halves of jalapenos with the softened cream cheese and wrap with a piece of the halved bacon strips. Secure with a toothpick or else the bacon will unravel in the oven. Place the jalapenos poppers on a oven sheet and let it cook in the oven for about 15 - 18 minutes until bacon is completed cooked through.
Oh wow! I will be making these for my husband very very soon - so glad I stumbled on your blog through Foodie Blog Roll. Have a great day!
