This is my favorite appetizer right now, and I fear if I keep making it I’ll grow sick of it but it hasn’t happened yet! It’s ridiculously easy to make too! You can make as many or as little as you need, but for this recipe let’s go football-game-day-with-friends size.

Notes
You can tame down the jalapeno hotness by letting them sit in a bowl of cold water once halved for 30m, however sometimes that takes away all the heat!
These look really good!! A twist on the jalapeno poppers!!

Im not a spicy food person due to health issues but my hubby would LOVE these.
I love spicy but I am the only one who does in my family, however this would be a great appetizer for entertaining.
These look so so so good and quick to make! I never would have thought of making them myself, so my partner thanks you haha
bacon makes everything better
Wow, spicy bacon – that’s a great idea!
These look delish. Useful tip about making the jalapenos more mild – it’s good to know for those who aren’t great with spice/hot peppers.
Don’t think I would like these because I am not a fan of peppers but I will with others who do
