When entertaining for The Big Game, you want something that isn't going to take a lot of time to prepare in the kitchen. My jalapeno poppers do not require a lot of ingredients and are simple to make. Now, I know what you are thinking, eating a whole jalapeno? I can't handle that! But trust me, these are delicious and will be a hit with your guests! Baking the pepper in the oven, paired with the cream cheese really tones down the spiciness! Tip- If you want to make this recipe a little healthier, use turkey bacon. Also, make sure you use plastic gloves when seeding the peppers (especially all of you who wear contacts, I made that mistake the first time I made these!)
1 8oz package of cream cheese
1 cup of cheddar cheese
1 cup of mozzarella cheese
1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder
1 package of bacon (strips cut in half)
1 pound of jalapenos, halved and seeded
1. Preheat your oven to 450 degrees. In a medium sized bowl combine the cheeses and garlic powder and stir until well combined. Spoon about 1-2 tablespoons of the cheese on the pepper half.
2. Take the bacon and wrap it around the pepper.
3. Place prepared peppers on a baking sheet and bake for about 10-13 minutes, or until the bacon is fully cooked.
