  • Cut off the stem of each jalapeno and de-seed it carefully, using caution not to tear the pepper.
  • It is easiest to de-seed it with a potato peeler.
  • To make them cooler you can set them in ice water over night.
  • Carefully fill each pepper with cream cheese.
  • Wrap each pepper with a slice of bacon making sure to cover the cream cheese end.
  • Close the end of bacon with a toothpick inserting it all the way through the pepper.
  • Fry in a electric skillet until bacon is done.

  1. These are so tasty! I made mine by cutting the Jalepenos into 1 inch squares and used a half slice of bacon with each. I also found that mixing Ricotta and Cream Cheese worked really well. I added a tiny bit of Garlic Powder to my cheese mixture. A sensation! My better half ate 12 of them before I had even got them off the baking sheet. Fabulous recipe.
     
  2. I do it exactly likeJeannaLW down below, I usually bake them for about 20 minutes, they are great hot or cold. I myself prefer them nice and hot....with a nice COLD GASS OF WINE, or beer.. Infact made some this afternoon for a snack , just about 4-6 BOY WHAT A SNACKKKKKKK. These are definatly a keeper, will be going them again on the wkned.
     
  3. I make a similar version, but I mix half cream cheese and half cheddar; cut the jalapenos in half and wrap each filled half in bacon, and bake instead of fry. These are really delicious, either way!
     
  4. I love these! I've had a huge craving for them all week, but wasn't exactly sure how to make them. Will be having them tonight with dinner. Thanks so much for posting!
     
  5. This a great recipe for the grill. We made them this summer when we were on an RV trip. Invited some neighbors over to help gobble them up. Real tasty little guys.
