Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Baked Bacon Jalapeno Poppers.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 425°F (220°C), setting the stage for some deliciousness.
Step 2
While the oven warms up, take your halved jalapeno peppers and generously fill each half with creamy, dreamy cream cheese, making sure to spread it evenly for that perfect bite.
Step 3
Now, it’s time to wrap things up! Take a slice of bacon and lovingly encase each cream cheese-filled jalapeno half, securing it with a toothpick to keep everything snug and in place while they bake.
Step 4
Next, arrange your wrapped jalapeno poppers on a baking sheet, placing them with the cream cheese side facing down—this helps them get that lovely golden color.
Step 5
Pop the baking sheet into your preheated oven and let them bake for about 10 minutes.
Step 6
After that, carefully flip each popper over and let them bake for another 10 minutes, or until the bacon is beautifully browned and crispy.
Step 7
For an extra touch of flavor, transfer the jalapeno poppers to a preheated outdoor grill.
Step 8
Grill them for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, watching as the bacon crisps up to perfection.
Step 9
Enjoy the delightful aroma and the anticipation of that first bite!.
