Holy Grail Homemade Jalapeño Popper Recipe
Welcome back to the blog! That’s right, this my first ever recipe post! I’ve been wanting to dabble into this for a bit, but hadn’t come across a recipe that I loved enough to share… until this one. Today I’m sharing my holy-grail homemade jalapeño popper recipe for my savory snackers and bacon-lovers out there, perfect for potlucks, cookouts or movie night bites!
HERE’S WHAT YOU NEED:
- Gloves
- Cutting board
- Knife
- Bowl
- Fork or spoon for mixing
- Foil
- Baking sheet
INGREDIENTS:
- Jalapeños (each pepper makes two poppers)
- Cream cheese
- Bacon
- Dill
- Cracked pepper
- Fresh-cut chives (optional)
BEGIN BY PREHEATING OVEN TO 425 DEGREES
STEP ONE: Cut stems
STEP TWO: Cut peppers in half vertically
STEP THREE: Remove seeds and veins
STEP FOUR: Mix cream cheese, dill and cracked pepper
STEP FIVE: Fill peppers with cream cheese mixture
STEP SIX: Wrap peppers in bacon
STEP SEVEN: Place in oven for 15-20 minutes
STEP EIGHT: Remove when bacon is fully cooked and browned
ENJOY!
That’s it, you guys! These are seriously so easy and super fun to make, not to mention absolutely delicious. I crave these on the regular and they’re the perfect treat for all you savory-tooth people out there! As I mentioned, you can mix chives into the cream cheese too (that’s what my mom does when she makes them), but we didn’t have any this time around — they’re great with or without it.
If you end up trying this recipe, tag me in your pictures (my Instagram is @abbyaylor — I have Facebook and Twitter too!) and let me know what you think of it! If you liked this post and would like to see more recipes here on my blog, I’d be happy to do more. Thanks for reading & check back for a new post on Wednesday! 🙂
