LOCATION

Directions

  • 1 Heat oven to 375°F. Line cookie sheet with foil or cooking parchment paper. Soak toothpicks in small bowl of warm water to prevent burning.
  • 2 In small bowl, mix cream cheese and chives. Spoon mixture evenly into chile halves.
  • 3 Cut each bacon slice crosswise into thirds. Wrap 1 piece of bacon around each stuffed chile half; secure with soaked toothpick. Place on cookie sheet.
  • 4 Bake 25 minutes or until bacon is crispy and chiles are tender. Serve warm.

EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

These poppers will be mildly spicy. For more heat, don’t remove all of the jalapeño seeds and leave the membranes intact.

Add a little more flavor to the filling with some chopped fresh parsley or cilantro.

When handling jalapeños and other hot chiles, wear plastic gloves. The oils that get on your hands will stay there, so if you were to rub your eyes after touching the chiles, you could really hurt yourself! You can buy powder-free gloves at a pharmacy.

i made these just as the recipe said and had no issues. they were done to my liking, both bacon and pepper. didnt change temp or bake time. i guess it depends on your preference. i dont know if this will help anyone, but i didnt have gloves, so i just used sandwich baggies to cover my hands when cleaning the peppers.

I cooked these tonight as Game day snacks. They were easy to make but tasted bland like they needed something else added

I have made these many times..But found that the bacon and chillies take along time to cook thru. I came across another recipe that is the similar. I take almost frozen bacon and slice thin, cook thoroughly and drain. Mix with the cream cheese add crushed garlic and stuff the chillies. Cook at 450 for about 20 minutes. Enjoy. Sometimes I have added shredded Parmesan cheese to the cream cheese mixture.
