How to Make Jalapeno Poppers
First, you’ll need some nice, medium-sized jalapeno peppers. To make 40 jalapeno poppers, you’ll need 20 peppers. Just go ahead and wash them off before you start.
Now you’re going to cut the peppers in half length-wise.
WARNING: Do not touch your eyes, nose, or mouth while you are cutting the jalapeno peppers! If you do, you will be sorry! Unless you enjoy long-lasting burning sensations on your mucous membranes. (Don’t ask me how I know this. Or how many times I have tempted fate and lost). If you have rubber gloves, wear them!
Once the peppers are cut in half, you need to scoop out the seeds and membranes (the light green spongy area in the middle of the pepper). The easiest way is to just use a spoon to scoop or scrape out the center. Face the spoon down to keep the peppers from spraying juice into your eye.
It’s o.k. if there is still a little bit of the membrane left inside.
Now you just need to take some softened cream cheese and spread it in the middle of each jalapeno.
It doesn’t need to be pretty
Grab some actual bacon (not turkey bacon or tofu bacon or anything crazy like that). For 40 jalapeno poppers, you’ll need about a pound of bacon. Take the bacon out of the package and just slice it into three equal sections.
Take a piece of bacon and wrap it around each stuffed jalapeno popper, securing with a toothpick. If you need to, go ahead and stretch the bacon so that it overlaps a little.
Now it’s time to bake the jalapeno poppers! Line a cookie sheet with aluminum foil. Then place a wire rack inside the cookie sheet. I just used two cooling racks for cookies. (If you don’t have metal racks, lightly spray the tin foil and just place the poppers directly on the foil).
Just bake for 20-25 minutes at 375 degrees. If the bacon doesn’t look like it’s brown enough, turn your broiler on for a few minutes and then watch it carefully. I took my poppers out of the oven when the cream cheese started turning brown in spots.
Serve warm, room temperature, or cold! They are delicious no matter what! And leave the toothpicks in, because it makes it easier for people to pick them up.
