Ingredients for Jalapeno Poppers

Method

Directions for Jalapeno Poppers

  1. 1

    Prepare the Jalapenos

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut the jalapenos in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and membranes for less heat.

  2. 2

    Make the Filling

    In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, bacon bits, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

  3. 3

    Stuff the Jalapenos

    Spoon the cheese mixture into each jalapeno half, filling them generously.

  4. 4

    Coat with Breadcrumbs

    In a separate bowl, mix the breadcrumbs with olive oil. Sprinkle this mixture over the stuffed jalapenos.

  5. 5

    Bake

    Place the stuffed jalapenos on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the jalapenos are tender and the tops are golden brown.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Allow the poppers to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy with your favorite spicy popper sauce!
