These Ninja Foodi Jalapeno Poppers Are…
- Gluten Free
- Keto Friendly
- 3 Ingredient Recipe
- Can Be Cooked With Indoor Grill or Outdoor Grill
- Delicious
- Tame Down Heat Or Leave Them Spicy
Ingredients
Jalapeno Peppers – Grab fresh peppers in the produce section. I like to buy medium to large peppers.
Cream Cheese – Any brand or even neufchatel cheese can be used for the cream cheese.
Bacon – I recommend a thin cut bacon, as thick bacon will not cook all the way through.
How To Make
This is a visual walk through on how to make bacon wrapped stuffed jalapenos. The full directions are in the printable recipe card at the bottom of the post.
Step One: Start by prepping your jalapenos. Remove seeds to lower the heat factor. Removing seeds and membranes will tame the spice.
Step Two: Rinse well. Make sure that you get all seeds out if you are wanting mild peppers. Then place peppers on towel to dry.
Step Three: With a spoon scoop up the cream cheese and stuff one side of the pepper with cream cheese. Then place the other side of the pepper to place the pepper back together.
Step Four: Wrap the bacon around the pepper and then secure with a toothpick. If a larger pepper you might want two toothpicks.
Step Five: Preheat your Ninja Foodi Grill or outdoor grill on the highest grill heat. Once it is fully preheated then place jalapenos on the grill.
Step Six: You will rotate the peppers every few minutes cooking the bacon fully. Depending on thickness and style of bacon the cook time will vary a bit.
Remove the bacon wrapped peppers and allow cool, and serve these wrapped jalapenos.
Variations to Wrapped Jalapenos
- Add in sharp cheddar cheese into the cream cheese mixture.
- Cook up ground sausage to mix in cream cheese filling.
- Use peppered bacon instead of regular bacon.
- Leave seeds in for extra heat in every bite.
- Etc

Can I Make These On A Pellet Grill Or Other Indoor Grill
Absolutely! These will work on any indoor grill or even on your pellet or wood grill. We have done on multiple styles of grills and they work great.
The biggest thing is making sure your bacon gets fully cooked up. If you over-stuff with cream cheese they will leak out. So I only fill one side of the stuffed jalapeños.
Bacon-wrapped jalapenos with cream cheese are so easy and you are welcome to cook on different methods.
How To Store
If you have leftover jalapenos, you are lucky! You can toss them in an airtight bag or sealable bag, and store them in the fridge. Feel free to store for up to three days.
These wrapped jalapenos actually taste amazing cold straight from the fridge. Or you can opt to warm them in the oven or microwave.
