Perfect appetizer for gameday, potlucks, parties or a night at home. The creamy cheesy filling offsets the spice of the jalapeno peppers and then of course, the bacon – you can’t go wrong. You may want to double or triple the recipe because these do not last long.
Stuffed Jalapeno Peppers Wrapped in Bacon
Ingredients
- 1 block cream cheese softened
- 1 1/4 cup freshly shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 8 - 9 jalapeno peppers
- 8 slices bacon (I used thick cut)
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 2 Tablespoons honey to drizzle over top
- 3 green onions for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Slice peppers lengthwise in half. Scoop out seeds and membrane with a spoon. Leave some of the seeds if you like these extra hot.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer, blend both cheeses, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt and pepper until thoroughly mixed.
- Stuff peppers with cheese mixture. Cut bacon strips in half and wrap around each pepper. Hold secure with a toothpick and place on a baking sheet.
- Place pan in oven and bake at 400 degrees for 25 to 30 minutes or until bacon is cooked and cheese has started to brown.
Notes
We served with homemade blue cheese dressing, but you could also serve with Ranch dressing.
If you use thicker cut bacon, you may need to adjust the baking time if you like crispier bacon.
