• Bacon Wrapped White Cheddar Jalapeño Poppers

    The title is the recipe.

    That’s how easy these suckers are.

    I feel like I say that about every recipe, but that’s always a big factor for me.

     These were the perfect amount of heat. My husband ate 6.

    They look fancy and will impress your friends at your NYE party tonight.

    Nice fruit salad, Sharon. Pshht.


    Ingredients:

    1 package of bacon

    9 – 10 Jalapeños, fresh

    1 C Cream Cheese

    1 C White Cheddar, shredded

    1 tsp Trader Joe’s Chili Lime Seasoning

    Juice of ½ Lime

    Pinch of salt

    Pinch of granulated sugar (coconut sugar or monkfruit sweetner work too)


    1. Preheat oven to 400
    2. Clean and cut jalapenos in half length-wise. Using a spoon, clear out the pith and seeds. Use gloves if you’re sensitive to heat.
    3. In a bowl, combine the cream cheese, shredded cheese, seasoning, lime juice, and salt. Taste it. Add more salt/seasoning/lime juice, if needed.
    4. Stuff those green slivers of heaven, but don’t overdo it.
    5. Now the bacon wrapping part – wrap a slice around each jalapeno stuffed beauty and tuck the ends when possible. Shoot to wrap each one where the ends would be down. Make sense?
    6. Place them on a cooling rack on top of a baking sheet. Sprinkle with more lime juice, some pepper, and sugar.
    7. Bake for 20 minutes, then broil on high for 4 minutes to get that crispy bacon heaven. Watch ‘em. Don’t let them burn.
    8. Allow to cool slighty, but best served while warm.

    Yes, the stuffing may come out a little, but that’s okay. Deliciousness is hard to contain.

    PS. Peppered bacon would be totally great with this, but my supermarket is lame and didn’t have any. Boo that man.
