Ingredients
- 8 large jalapeño peppers
- 8 ounces cream cheese softened
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 8 slices bacon cut in half lengthwise
- Toothpicks
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the jalapenos
- Slice the jalapenos lengthwise in half. Remove any seeds and membranes. If you want extra heat, leave some seeds intact.
Step 2: Prepare the stuffing
- In a medium bowl, mix the stuffing ingredients until well combined. This includes cream cheese, cheddar cheese, green onions, garlic powder, and onion powder.
Step 3: Assemble the poppers
- Put the cream cheese mixture into each jalapeno. The jalapenos should be half full.
- Wrap a piece of bacon around the jalapeno. Use a toothpick to secure them into place.
Step 4: Grill the poppers
- Grill the poppers for 15-20 minutes over medium-high heat, about 375°F. The bacon will become crispy, and the peppers will be tender.
