Bacon Wrapped Pimento Stuffed Jalapenos Recipes

BACON WRAPPED CHEESY STUFFED JALAPEñOS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F (204°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper (best for clean-up) or a silicone baking mat. Place a baking rack on top of the baking sheet. Set aside.
• Cut the jalapeño peppers in half lengthwise; remove seeds and center membrane. Set aside.
• Using a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the cream cheese, cheddar cheese, garlic, and paprika together until combined. You could also do this by hand using a rubber spatula. Salt to taste - I add just a pinch. Spoon filling equally among all 24 jalapeño halves.
• Wrap each stuffed jalapeño with a half slice of bacon and stick a toothpick through the center to assure the bacon stays in place. Place each on the baking rack and bake for 25-28 minutes or until the bacon is crisp to your liking. I like to turn the oven to broil for the last minute or two to get things extra crispy. Serve immediately. Cover leftovers and keep in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

BACON WRAPPED STUFFED JALAPEñOS WITH PIMENTO CHEESE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400º. Wash and prep your jalapeños for stuffing, by removing the stem, seeds and membrane. Cut each in half, length-wise. Prepare a roasting pan with aluminum foil and place a baking rack on top (this will catch any fat drippings).
• Using a teaspoon, stuff each jalapeño with pimento cheese.
• Holding a jalapeño with one hand, use your other hand to wrap 1 strip of bacon around it. If it starts to overlap, and the bacon is too long, you can trim the piece.
• Slide the bacon wrapped stuffed jalapeños on a skewer and repeat the process. I put 5 on each skewer. Bake for 20 minutes, flip and bake for 5 more minutes.
• Flip one final time, so they're facing right side up and broil on low for 2-3 minutes. Watch carefully so they don't burn. Let cool for 10 minutes before enjoying!

BACON-WRAPPED JALAPENO POPPERS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• Mix cream cheese and Cheddar cheese together in a bowl until evenly blended. Fill each jalapeno half with the cheese mixture. Put halves back together and wrap each stuffed pepper with a slice of bacon. Arrange bacon-wrapped peppers on the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until bacon is crispy, about 15 minutes.

BACON WRAPPED PIMENTO STUFFED JALAPENOS

Steps:

• Start by cutting a "V" the length of each jalapeno pepper
• Stuff each jalapeno with pimento cheese until they are full.
• Starting at the top of each jalapeno, take a piece of bacon, and wrap as far down as you can go. Make sure to overlap so you don't have gaps anywhere on the pepper. I used 2 pieces of bacon per pepper.
• Prepare your grill and set coals off to one side. This is indirect grilling. You'll want to put your peppers on the side without the coals.
• Grill peppers 2.5 minutes per 4 sides or until charred to your liking.
