Ingredients
- 20 fresh jalapenos, 2 to 3 inches in size
- Two 8-ounce packages cream cheese, slightly softened
- 1 pound thin (regular) bacon, slices cut in half
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F. Set a wire rack over a baking sheet.
- If you have them, slip on some latex gloves for the pepper prep. Cut the jalapenos in half lengthwise. With a spoon, remove the seeds and white membranes (the source of the heat; leave a little if you like things HOT). Smear cream cheese into each jalapeno half and then wrap with a bacon piece (1/2 slice). Secure by sticking a toothpick through the middle. Place on the rack in the baking sheet.
- Bake for 40 to 45 minutes. (You don’t want the bacon pieces to shrink so much they start to squeeze the jalapenos.) If after 45 minutes the bacon doesn’t look brown enough, just keep cooking until the bacon is sizzling.
- Serve immediately, or they’re also great at room temperature.

I made these Jalapeno poppers and the next time I make them I will have to double the recipe !!! They are such a great appetizer and didn’t last long ! So easy to make once the jalapenp peppers are cut in half and seeds removed, easy street after that !! I will definitely be making these again at any of our gatherings with family and friends ! Once they are cooked in oven, they are not as hot as some may think ! Try them, you won’t be sorry !!!!
Love Rhee’s recipe but this food network copy is wrong. If you look at her blog the oven temp is supposed to be 375, not 275.
Awesome
We loved these but, I have to make a lot or my fiance’ eats them all. Sooooooo Yummy !!!!
I’ve made these for years and everyone loves them. I have always grilled mine outdoors but this oven recipe really works well for when you can’t grill outdoors
I do like this recipe. Make them all the time with a few changes. I like my bacon more done so I pre bake it in the oven, then assemble them and bake in the oven. I do it this way so my bacon is not raw.
Delicious and easy
These were awesome! Does take some time to clean them out but worth it! Just have a glass of wine Hahahah
I added cheddar cheese to the cream cheese mixture and it was amazing!
Taking out the insides of the peppers was a bit time-consuming, but not difficult. The rest was easy too. These were a huge hit with my family!
