I came home one day and my boyfriend could not stop raving about how he wanted Jalapeno poppers. He was watching some cooking show and that was the featured dish. So needless to say, being the amazing girlfriend that I am, I started my hunt for the
perfect Jalapeno poppers recipe.
I immediately went searching through one of my favorite websites,
Pinterest . I found recipe after recipe, some more complicated than others. Now I'm all about easy and I wanted the easiest recipe with the least amount of ingredients. I finally found one that looked both easy and delicious! Courtesy of the Pioneer Woman I had finally found the perfect recipe!
Bacon-Wrapped Jalapeno Thingies
I tweaked the recipe a little, only out of laziness. Basically here's my recipe in a nutshell.
Preheat the oven to 375° - I used an un-greased cookie sheet with sides.
Ingredients: 20 Jalapeno peppers
2 packages of cream cheese (8 oz)
1 package of bacon
Box of toothpicks
Thats it!!
Basically you start with about 20 Jalapeno's.
You cut them in half length ways and take all the seeds out. You may want to use gloves for this.
*Lemon juice works well getting the juice off your hands.
Fill each one with cream cheese! This can get tricky if you're cream cheese isn't room temperature or already softened. I used a spoon for this.
Next you take a package of bacon and slice it into thirds. Take the bacon and wrap it around each jalapeno. A toothpick works nicely to keep it all in place. Careful not to make them too tight.
And finally spread them on a cookie sheet. Bake them in the oven at 375°. I baked them for about 30 minutes. They came out wonderfully!!
Such a
simple easy recipe!!
ENJOY! I also tried this with an uncooked shrimp wrapped up with the bacon, not bad!
