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.
Bacon Wrapped Jalapenos
Recipe type: Appetizer
Prep time:
Cook time:
Total time:
Serves: 8-10
Ingredients
- 20 whole jalapenos
- 2 eight oz blocks of cream cheese, room temp
- 1 cup shredded old cheddar cheese
- 2 packages bacon (regular sliced, not thick)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Rinse jalapenos and then slice lengthwise, remove seeds/membranes.
- In a bowl, combine cream cheese and shredded cheese until well mixed.
- Stuff each jalapeno-half with a cheese mixture, wrap with a slice of bacon and place on a baking sheet.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, turning on the broiler at the end for a few mins to crisp the bacon if needed.
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!
What the heck are you doing to me??? I’m supposed to be losing 5 pounds… must focus on carrots… not Tenille’s bacon deliciousness….
I heard if you close your eyes when eating them, the calories don’t count because you can’t see them. Or…something like that?
Where are you losing the 5 lbs from by the way Lena, your elbow?? #seriously
It’s if you close your eyes and stand on one foot. This recipe looks delicious. I’ll have to try it.
You have to close your eyes and cross your feet… That’s the trick. Helps every time I have a slice of cake!
These are awesome, my daughter made them earlier on in the summer and like you I’m addicted, instead of bacon we use prosciutto, so good
Had them tonight 
I make a different version of this also. Cream the cheese in the microwave, add chopped cooked bacon to the creamed cream cheese,
the add the fried jalpenos to dip..YUM!!!
Never gets old.
Oh lord those sound good! Thanks for sharing!
omigosh. Pinning this for sure
Oh.EM.GEE. Get in my belly!! These look delicious!
This cracked me up, thanks Candace!
YUMMY!! For a variation (if you like to BBQ), I leave them whole, cut a capital i in one side to empty the seeds, fill with cream cheese (I like the part in your recipe about adding cheddar), wrap with bacon, skewer 3-4 per skewer, brush with bbque sauce of choice and grill.
We made these at camp just the other day and they were ate up in no time flat. So yummy!
That looks super yummy!
oh yum!!
I make mine exactly like this with some additions!
I add a bit of Chipotle Chili Powder in with the cream cheese/cheddar mixture AND I add a topping of brown sugar w/ chipotle chili powder on top before baking!
SOOOOOO GOOD!
i do this but brown some breakfast sausage first and add my cream cheese, then stuff peppers and wrap. they are awesome!
My husband would love these! He loves hot peppers, and who doesn’t like bacon?
This looks delicious but too spicy for me! lol My hubby would love it!

I’m not a fan of hot peppers but it looks so delicious that I may have to give it a go!

That looks so yummy! Thanks for sharing!
Yum! I’m going to make them for my husbands bday party next weekend! Thx!
my youngest and I made these over Christmas and they were so so good.
My husband would love these. I don’t like spicy foods, so I’ll have to make my own version using something else, or else try out your tip for making jalapenos less spicy.
Made these for superbowl and they were a big hit.
I wished that I could eat jalapenos because these look yummy!

Showing my sister the pins I have tried and her tongue started burning just looking at these peppers, they were so good. I’ve made them a few times.
These look so good. I will keep the recipe for company. Can’t eat them myself.

Looks really yummy.
everything tastes awesome in bacon!!!!
Wood can taste good wrapped in bacon, and these look really yummy.
This recipe sounds yummy i just have to find a substitute for the peppers as my kids are allergic to them!
This sounds delicous. I bet adding some finely chopped peppers and onions to the cream cheese would make them POP!
I saw these a few weeks back and made them, they were so good!
These look scrumptious!
interesting recipe but I think the heat might be too much; will have to try though
Sounds delicious. I’d use turkey bacon though.
Those look so so good. i`ll have to try them for my birthday!

I like everything about your recipe except the Jalapenos, can’t eat them…but I would do this with mushrooms maybe it would work.
