Recipe for Cream Cheese and Bacon Stuffed Jalapenos at Life's Ambrosia

Welcome to day four of Super Bowl Snack week. Jalapeno poppers are a classic super bowl snack, whether they are baked or fried. Recently it has been common to wrap bacon around cream cheese stuffed jalapenos. With this recipe, I decided to mix it up a little bit and mix crispy bacon with cream cheese and a little goat cheese before stuffing and baking the jalapenos. The result is a spicy, creamy bite with just a little bit of crunch. Yum!

Cream Cheese and Bacon Stuffed Jalapenos Recipe

Jalapenos stuffed with cream cheese, goat cheese and bacon. The perfect addition to your Super Bowl party.

Makes 10

Ingredients:

5 large jalapenos, sliced in half lengthwise, seeds and ribs removed (Note: you want to create a shell for the cheese and bacon mixture)
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
4 slices bacon, chopped into 1 inch pieces
2 ounces goat cheese crumbles
kosher salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Brown bacon, strain on paper towel and set aside.
Bake empty jalapeno skins for 6-8 minutes until they are slightly softened.
In a bowl combine cream cheese, bacon pieces and goat cheese crumbles. Season with salt and pepper as needed.
Fill each jalapeno with about 2 tablespoons of the mixture. It is okay if they appear a little over stuffed, you get cheesier bites that way.
Bake for 10 minutes then turn on the broiler and broil for 5 minutes or until the cheese turns slightly golden brown. Serve.

For those of you that aren't fans of spicy food, yes, these can be a little spicy, but by removing the ribs and seeds from the jalapenos you also remove the majority of the hotness so don't be afraid to give them a try. Enjoy!
