Cream Cheese Stuffed Bacon Wrapped Jalapenos

I feel like I am late to the party. I am finally writing a post about Cream Cheese Stuffed Bacon Wrapped Jalapenos. These have been a low carb staple in our house for a long time, so this post is long overdue. For six months or so, cream cheese bacon wrapped jalapenos were our keto Sunday dinner staple. We would make so many of these little guys, we always had leftovers. These would be perfect for a Super Bowl party. It’s hard to believe that is just around the corner.

Coring the Jalapenos

I have definitely had my fair share of spicy jalapenos. When preparing the jalapenos, WEAR GLOVES!

I learned the no-glove lesson the hard and embarrassing way with poblano peppers. I cored and chopped about 10 poblanos – which are generally mild – without gloves, washed my hands, and then gave the skin just under my nose a good scratch (it was allergy season). Words cannot describe the burning sensation that ensued for about an hour. Let’s just say I sat on the couch with a tub of sour cream that I constantly smeared on my skin to cool the burn. Anyway, lesson learned – I will always wear gloves when handling any pepper that’s hotter than a bell!

Back to the jalapenos. Got your gloves? Great! Next, slice off the tops and cut the peppers in half. Then grab a small spoon and dig out the ribs and seeds. After that’s done, give the peppers a good rinse. If you don’t like your peppers as mild as I do, leave some of the seeds and vein in the pepper. I am a wimp sometimes when it comes to fresh jalapeno heat.


Stuffing & Baking

Once the peppers are cut and cleaned, mix the cream cheese and chives in a bowl. I like to pipe my cream cheese mix in with a piping bag. Scooping it into the peppers with a knife or spoon with work just as well.


When you’re all done with that, wrap each piece with half a piece of bacon. When I have a giant pepper (or want some extra bacon), I wrap a few of the jalapenos in a whole piece of bacon. Use your discretion on the jalapeno-cream cheese-bacon ratio. Once wrapped and ready, it’s time to pop them in the oven. A helpful trick I learned – bake them on a cookie cooling rack (like pictured below). It will help the bacon get nice and crisp!

Bake in the oven for about 35 to 45 minutes, and enjoy the crispy bacon wrapped jalapenos!

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
  2. On a cutting board, slice the heads off the jalapenos and discard. Slice the jalapenos in half lengthwise, remove the seeds and ribs and discard. Leave a little rib if you like them hot. Rinse the jalapenos in a strainer and set aside.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine the cream cheese and chives until well mixed. Spoon or pipe the mix into the halved jalapenos.
  4. Grab your 12 slices of bacon, and cut them in half. Wrap each jalapeno with half a piece of bacon.
  5. Obtain a baking sheet and square grate if you have one. Disperse all of the jalapenos onto the grate and bake in the oven for 35 minutes, or until the bacon is thoroughly cooked.
  6. *If you don't have a grate, line the baking sheet with foil and parchment on top of the foil. Bake directly on that.*
  7. Remove from the oven. Remove the jalapenos with tongs to a serving platter or plates. Enjoy! Optional - serve with ranch.
