Equipment

  • Baking sheet 
  • Parchment paper 
  • Sharp knife
  • Small spoon
  • Mixing bowl
  • Hand mixer
  • Gloves

Ingredients
  

  • 12 medium JALAPENO PEPPERS
  • 8 oz CREAM CHEESE
  • 1 cup CHEDDAR CHEESE
  • 1/2 cup cooked BACON
  • 2 tbsp GREEN ONIONS
  • 1/2 tsp GARLIC POWDER
  • 1/2 cup BREADCRUMBS
  • 2 tbsp melted BUTTER

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Peppers: Wash all the jalapenos first. Slice them in half lengthwise. Use a spoon to remove seeds. Keep the stems for a nice look.
  • Make the Cheese Filling: Place cream cheese in a bowl. Add cheddar, onions, and garlic powder. Mix until the texture is creamy.
  • Stuff the Peppers: Use your small spoon now. Fill each pepper half with cheese. Do not overfill the green shells.
  • Add the Topping: Mix breadcrumbs with melted butter. Sprinkle this over the cheese filling. Press it down just a little bit.
  • Bake Until Golden: Place peppers on the baking sheet. Bake at 375 degrees. Wait for the cheese to bubble. The tops should look very brown.

Notes

➔ Wear plastic gloves when handling the hot peppers.
➔ Use room temperature cream cheese for easy mixing.
➔ Remove every seed to keep the heat low.
➔ Leave some seeds in for a spicier snack.
➔ Space the peppers out on the baking sheet.
➔ Use thick-cut bacon for more meaty flavor.
➔ Serve them warm for the best gooey texture.
