    Christmas Eve Dinner

    Mom and I served these baked jalapeno poppers with bacon for our Christmas Eve dinner as an appetizer. They were outstanding.

    Some of the jalapenos were a little hot. It’s possible that I might not have removed all the seeds and membranes so I’ll be careful with that next time. I may have removed all the seeds but some jalapenos are just hotter than others.

    Even a little hot, these baked bacon wrapped jalapeno poppers were incredible.

    As you know, we had Pork Tamales with Red Tamale Sauce. We also had tostadas with refried beans and all the accompaniments. It was an amazing dinner. Mom said it was the best Christmas Eve dinner she had ever had.

    Super Easy 3 Ingredient Recipe

    These bacon wrapped baked jalapeno peppers are so easy that it’s hard to believe they’re so good. But, really, keeping it simple is the way to go. When you start off with three incredible ingredients, you don’t need anything else.

    • Jalapenos
    • Cream Cheese
    • Thick Sliced Bacon

    You don’t even really need the toothpicks if you wrap the bacon around in the other direction.

    Baking the Jalapeno Poppers

    When it comes to bacon drippings, I suggest a pan like this that has a metal rack. It helps so the bacon isn’t swimming around in the bacon grease. There is a time and place for bacon grease.

    What’s the place for bacon grease? Refried beans. Just sayin’.

    I suggest that you line the pan with foil before baking and you’ll have a much easier job when cleaning.

    Serving Suggestion

    Because of the little bit of heat from the jalapenos, I suggest serving with sour cream. I drizzled some Frank’s Red Hot Sauce on top just to make it pretty. I didn’t put very much of it because I was trying to cut the heat, not add to it! ha!

    What could be better than baked jalapeño poppers? Jalapeño poppers with BACON!

    For more information, be sure to check the recipe details in the attached 24Bite® post.

    Equipment

    • Sheet pan with removable rack
    • Toothpicks

    Ingredients

    • 8 large Jalapenos
    • 4 ounces Cream Cheese, softened
    • 8 pieces Wrights Thick Sliced Bacon
    • Cooking Spray

    Instructions

    • Preheat oven to 350℉.
    • Cut stems from jalapeños. Cut jalapeños lengthwise in half. Using a metal spoon, scoop out the seeds and membranes.
    • With a blunt knife, spread about a teaspoon or two inside each jalapeño.
    • Cut bacon pieces in half. Wrap each jalapeño with bacon and secure with a toothpick. Note: If you wrap the bacon toward the bottom, you won't necessarily need a toothpick. The weight of the pepper and cream cheese will hold it down. You can add the toothpick after cooking. This will keep the toothpick clean for guests.
    • Spray rack with cooking spray. Place jalapeños on rack, evenly spaced.
    • Cook 50-55 minutes.

    Notes

    Serve with sour cream and celery sticks, if desired.
    If you use thin sliced bacon, the poppers will cook more quickly. Check after 35 or 40 minutes and every 5 minutes to ensure the bacon doesn’t burn.
