Ingredients

  • 1 package of thin cut bacon count how many slices are in the package
  • 12-16 fresh jalapenos
  • 1 8 ounce packet, softened cream cheese
  • Toothpicks

Instructions

  • Slice peppers in half lengthwise. If you want to make mild you will remove seeds. Otherwise leave seeds in for spicy peppers.
  • To tame the heat, take a spoon and scrape out the jalapeno seeds and white membrane.
  • Rinse peppers in running water to rinse away any of the oil on the pepper.
  • Take some softened cream cheese and scoop into one side of the jalapeno. Then place the other side of the jalapeno back together.
  • Wrap your pepper with one slice of bacon. If it is a small pepper, then slice bacon in half. Use a toothpick to secure the bacon onto the pepper.
  • Repeat until all your peppers are wrapped.
  • Preheat your Ninja Foodi Grill to the highest heat setting. Or on the grill or 500 degrees on your pellet grill.
  • Once preheated you will place your peppers on your hot grill. Cook for 3-4 minutes on one side, then rotate. You will rotate the peppers so all sides of the bacon are fully cooked.
  • Once the bacon is cooked, remove the peppers from the grill and place on a plate to cool.
  • Remove toothpicks from bacon-wrapped jalapenos, and then serve.

Notes

How Many Peppers To Make: You can make as many of these bacon wrapped jalapenos as you would like. Now, I always count how many slices of bacon are in the pack and then buy peppers to match.
If your jalapenos are small you can slice the bacon in half and use 1 slice for two peppers. I had large jalapenos.
Type of Bacon: You will want to use thin cut bacon, otherwise it will not fully cook.
