Ingredients (See Box Above, "IMPORTANT - About Our Recipes" for Information about Quantities)

  • Jalapeño Peppers
  • Salt and freshly ground Black Pepper to taste
  • Cream Cheese
  • Cheddar Cheese shredded
  • Bacon
  • Blue Cheese and/or Buttermilk Ranch Dressings, for dipping, store bought or homemade, of choice (See Box Above, "Try these Recipes with Your Bacon-Wrapped Jalapeño Poppers", for links to some Good Recipes to make at Home)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Cut the jalapeños into a boat cut. (Click the link above to see how to do a Boat Cut.)
  • Sprinkle insides of cut jalapeños lightly with salt and pepper, to taste.
  • Place the jalapeños on a cookie sheet. Place sheet in preheated oven. Cook for about 10 minutes. (Skip this step if you prefer your finished jalapeños to be more raw and crunchy.)
  • Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly so you can handle them.
  • Add cream cheese to each jalapeño to cover the bottom, leaving a concave "well" to place other ingredients. (Click the link above to see pictures of this step, if the instructions are unclear to you.)
  • Fill the well in the cream cheese with a generous helping of Cheddar cheese.
  • Cut bacon strips in 1/2.
  • Wrap bacon around each jalapeño. Secure with a toothpick, if you like.
  • Place jalapeños back on cookie sheet and place back in oven.
  • Cook, watching closely, until cream cheese is hot and bubbling and bacon is done, about 25 - 30 minutes. Check to make sure jalapeños and bacon are done to your liking. If not, place back in oven for more time.
  • Remove from oven when done.
  • Serve hot with blue cheese and/or Buttermilk Ranch Dressings, to dip.
