Recipe Inspiration
Hey there everyone!! Hope you are all enjoying the New Year! I’ve been working on putting away all of the Christmas decorations, presents, etc and guess what? It’s quickly put me in full-blown “Get All This Stuff Out Of My House!!! mode”
Seriously! Who else is with me when I say “Why do we all need so much stuff?!?!” I seriously am looking forward to de-cluttering every.single.room in our house!…and then hiring someone to come clean it! haha
So if you’re not like me and having to spend countless hours cleaning {p.s. here is my free Spring Cleaning Checklist printable}, then you have time to make these Jalapeño Poppers that I made on New Years Day (before I started cleaning, lol). They are so simple to make and are really quite tasty! They are perfect for get-togethers or parties, especially for the upcoming Super Bowl.

How To Make Jalapeño Poppers with Cream Cheese Wrapped In Bacon
Caution Tip: Wear disposable rubber gloves when seeding the jalapeños. Believe me, you will thank me later!
If you’ve ever cut hot peppers before you know that if you’re hands are dry or have cuts the juices will burn, burn your hands. Or even better, you forget you recently cut peppers and go to rub your eye. Ouch! No need to ask how I know this 🙂 This is why I chose to wear disposable gloves…life saver!!
Step-by-Step to Make Bacon Wrapped Cream Cheese
STEP : Wearing disposable rubber gloves, cut the tops off of each jalapeño and slice in half. De-seed each jalapeño using a fork.
STEP 2: Fill each jalapeño half with a generous amount of cream cheese. I always use Philadelphia
STEP 3: Open a package of bacon and cut each slice in half. Wrap each cream cheese filled jalapeño with bacon
STEP 4: Place on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil and bake in a 350°F oven until the bacon is to your preferred crispiness
STEP 5: Remove from oven and place cooked jalapeño poppers on a platter and serve warm
