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!
