Ep 130-133 Aurora Colorado Famous Bacon-wrapped Jalapeno Poppers & Dave Harvey Riesling by Naked Wines July 2025

 

Aurora Colorado's Famous Bacon-wrapped Jalapeno Poppers!

                                 by videogator!

Ingredients

1/2 cup of cream cheese

1/2 cup of shredded sharp Cheddar cheese

12 jalapeno peppers, halved lengthwise (no seeds or membranes!)

12 slices of bacon *

                         (Okay, I doubled this recipe! If I'm cooking, I'm all IN!)

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil. 

2. Mix the cheeses together until evenly blended, and fill the peppers.

3. Put pepper halves back together, wrapping a slice of bacon around the outside

    to hold them in place. 

4. Arrange on the baking sheet. 

5. Bake in the oven until crispy, approximately 25-30 minutes!

    Serve with your favorite dipping sauce! 

*IF you have thick-cut bacon, pre-bake it at 400 degrees F on a parchment-lined baking sheet-- until partially cooked, but still pliable (about 8 minutes). Let it cool, then wrap it around the peppers —secure with a toothpick. Then, bake as instructed in step 5. 

Bon Appetit!                                                   Thank you, AllRecipe.com!
