Cheesy Bacon Jalapeno Poppers

Cheese? Bacon!? Jalapeno Poppers??! Just you TRY to pass these puppies up! Who says these are only for parties or football season? I make these as a dinner side whenever my little heart desires.

I made mine without any chicken, but you could easily add some cooked chicken to this (chopped or shredded) if you had some on hand.

As a friendly reminder- be careful handling these peppers as they are spicy and if you happen to wipe your face with a jalapeno juiced hand you will be very sorry. I choose to wear gloves just to be safe! If you don't wear gloves remember to wash your hands throughly. No burning eyes, please!

10 Jalapeno Peppers
8oz Cream Cheese
1 cup Mexican Shredded Cheese
1/2 cup Sour Cream
1 tablespoon Garlic Powder
1/4 teaspoon Salt
4 strips Bacon, cooked and crumbled
1 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese


Mix cream cheese, mexican cheese, sour cream, garlic powder, salt and crumbled bacon in bowl. Slice peppers in half (lengthwise) and remove all the seeds. Spoon cream cheese mixture into each pepper half and place on baking sheet. Bake at 350 for 20 minutes. Sprinkle with cheddar cheese and then return to oven. Broil on High a few minutes until cheese is melted. Try not to drool and serve them warm.
