Double Bacon Jalapeno Poppers..because you can’t really have too much bacon, can you?

I have a new love of peppers.  Wait.  Let me rephrase.  I have a new love of hot peppers, especially jalapenos lately!  We put them on our Slow Cooker Pork Carnitas and Festive Chicken tostadas and sandwiches, but I want to try new things!  Well, new to me.  See, I wouldn’t touch peppers with a 6 foot pole for most of my life.

A few years ago I tried a jalapeno roll up thing (I forgot what they called them, but it was basically a tortilla filled with cream cheese and diced jalapenos rolled up and fried) from a convenience store I normally would never set foot in.  Someone I was with wanted to go in and I tried this roll up thing and fell in love with them!  So much so, that I went back several more times by myself to buy more!

I moved away from that area a few years ago and haven’t thought about jalapenos and cream cheese together much since. But, something triggered the memory recently and my craving has returned! I’m currently watching my carbs, so I wanted to recreate the flavors I loved so much, minus the tortilla.

My recipe for Double Bacon Jalapeno Poppers aren’t your traditional bacon-wrapped jalapeno poppers! Wrapping poppers in bacon just wasn’t enough. You’ll get even more of that smoky, delicious bacon-y flavor with these poppers because there is extra bacon stuffed inside of each one!

Double Bacon Jalapeno Poppers

To make up for the lack of a tortilla,  I add more bacon, of course.  What better name for these spicy little guys than Double Bacon Jalapeno Poppers!

Prep!

Double Bacon Jalapeno Poppers

You will need all your ingredients, a cutting board, spoon, knife, baking tray, baking rack (optional), and toothpicks out and ready to go!  If you’re not using leftover bacon, you will need to cook and crumble 3 of the slices.  Preheat your oven to 375°F.

Create!

Double Bacon Jalapeno Poppers

The first step is to prepare your peppers. You can cut the stem off, or leave it, it doesn’t really matter.

Next, slice each pepper in half, lengthwise.

Scoop out some, or all, of the seeds and membrane.  The more you leave, the spicier your poppers will be.  If you want mild jalapeno poppers, make sure to get out as much as possible.

I didn’t want to have just plain ole cream cheese inside the pepper, but I also didn’t want too add too much else and take away from the perfectness of the main 3 ingredients.  I decided to add some sharp cheddar cheese and crumble some cooked bacon into the cheese mixture.

Prepare the filling by mixing together the two cheeses and crumbled bacon!

Now, stuff each pepper with the cheese mixture!

Wrap each popper with a half of a slice of bacon and secure with a toothpick. Place the poppers on a wire rack over a baking sheet.  This helps the bacon get crispy all the way around.

I pin the toothpick onto the back side to help keep the bacon from sticking to the wire rack. They look like little samurai poppers!

Bake or about 25 minutes, until the peppers are soft and the bacon is nice and crispy!

Present!

  • 6 jalapenos medium sized

  • 3 slices bacon cooked and crumbled
  • 6 slices bacon cut in half
Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F .

  2. Slice the stem off of each jalapeno, then cut each in half length-wise. Remove the seeds and membrane (leave some if you want spicy poppers).
  3. In a small bowl, use a fork to mash together the cream cheese, sharp cheddar cheese, and crumbled bacon. Spread the cheese mixture into each jalapeno half. Wrap each with a half slice of bacon and secure with a toothpick that has been soaked in water.

  5. Oh. My. Goodness… When I make my jalapeno poppers I use 1/2 slice per popper so I feel a little less guilty when I eat them. You go the other direction, and it’s GLORIOUS!! These look fabulous

  31. There’s not an appetizer I love more than jalapeño poppers – whoever came up with that combination was a genius. And you just took that to a next level with these double bacon ones – WIN!

  33. My husband makes these and they are so delicious. They are the hit of any party we take them too. I was also afraid they would be too hot but they aren’t with the cream cheese.

    Reply

    • How spicy they are depends on how many seeds you leave in them. I usually take so many out, they aren’t hot enough. I don’t want them too hot – finding the balance can be tricky!

  34. I have been loving jalapenos too as I get further into my twenties. Funny how your tastes change! My husband and I make these often, but I’ve never seen it with bacon crumbled in. How clever! If we want to up the healthy factor we use turkey bacon. 🙂

    • So true! I hated coconut and now I want it in everything! I like turkey bacon, but haven’t tried it with poppers yet 🙂

  35. Bacon and jalapenos are two of my favorite things! This looks so good. I can see enjoying them with an ice cold beer and then I’ll have 3 of my favorite things. Yummy!

    • I didn’t eat meat for 10 years, so I understand…makes me wonder what else you could sneak in there for an extra little something..hmmm

  43. You had me at bacon!

    We always make finger foods for football parties, and I need this one in my arsenal because little smokies and random freezer finds get old quick 🙂

  45. Oh my gosh, these jalapeno poppers look SO good! They are one of my favorite appetizers, so I know I’ll love this double bacon version.

    • Or…just make them for yourselves 😉 My boyfriend requested these this week just for us! Yum!

    • Glad to hear it! I bookmarked your page – hopefully I’ll need some advice soon and looks like you have some good things to know on there!
