Grilled Bacon Wrapped Jalapeno Poppers are the perfect snack or game day appetizer! Fresh jalapenos are stuffed with a mixture of cheeses and seasoning and wrapped in smoky bacon and cooked on the barbecue until tender.
Ingredients :
6 jalapeños
6 ounces cream cheese the block, not the spreadable
1 green onion finely minced
½ teaspoon garlic powder
1.5 ounces sharp cheddar cheese shredded
12 slices bacon
Directions :
Cut the stem off each jalapeno and cut in half lengthwise. Using a small spoon, scrape out seeds & membranes.
In a small bowl combine cream cheese, green onion, garlic powder and cheddar cheese. Stuff into the jalapeno halves.
Wrap each jalapeno completely with bacon ensuring the cheese is covered. Secure with toothpicks.
To Grill
Place jalapenos on grill cut side down and grill just until bacon begins to crisp (about 6 minutes). Gently loosen bacon from the grill and flip jalapenos over. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook an additional 10-12 minutes or until bacon is cooked and cheese is melted.
Preheat to 425°F, place on a parchment lined pan and bake about 18-23 minutes or until bacon is crisp and cheese is melted.
