Jalapeno Entero (1) Recipe

Main Menu

1. 1

   Prep and preheat

   Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a sheet pan with parchment or lightly oil the pan.

2. 2

   Prepare filling

   In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, then drain any excess fat. In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, shredded cheddar, garlic powder, chopped green onions, salt, pepper, and the cooked beef until fully blended.

3. 3

   Prepare jalapeños

   Rinse the jalapeño peppers. Wearing gloves, slice a small slit lengthwise on each pepper to create a pocket, and gently scoop out seeds and membranes with a spoon.

4. 4

   Stuff peppers

   Fill each jalapeño pepper with a generous scoop of the filling, pressing to pack it in.

5. 5

   Wrap with bacon and secure

   Wrap each stuffed pepper with a slice of bacon. Secure with a toothpick if needed.

6. 6

   Bake

   Place the prepared peppers on the sheet pan. Lightly brush or spray with olive oil. Bake for 25-30 minutes, until peppers are tender and bacon is crispy. If desired, finish under the broiler for 1-2 minutes to crisp bacon further.

7. 7

   Garnish and serve

   Remove from oven, let rest 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley or cilantro (optional) and serve as a hearty main course.
