Bacon Wrapped Stuffed with Cream Cheese Jalapenos

These are super easy to make and I’m sure you’ve seen them everywhere but what the heck, I’m gonna put mine up here too! For those of you who are new to my blog, I’m a Sure Fine gal. If you want fancy looking food with name brand products, then you’re at the wrong place. While their are certain things that I prefer to be name brand, the majority is generic and I’m okay with that:)
INGREDIENTS:
- 15 jalapenos (when cut in half, makes 30)
- 2 pkgs cream cheese
- 2 packages of bacon (I normally use the thick Wright bacon but used cheap $2 bacon this time)
- toothpicks
Cut jalapenos in half and clean out. If you like them hotter, then leave some seeds. Shove as much cream cheese as you can on that half and wrap with a slice of bacon. I try to cover the open end and the top really good there is less cream cheese leakage;) Stick a toothpick in from the top to bottom to hold bacon in place and prevent rolling up for falling off.
Cook in preheated oven at 350′ for about an hour or desired crispiness. HMMMMMM, GOOD! Gosh, I just love these.
Okay, so I forgot to take the picture before we ate a dozen of them. Sorry ’bout that:)
I have to admit I have not seen these anywhere before! I always grow lots of jalapenos in my garden every year, so I look forward to this summer when I can make these with my own peppers.
Hi, I am writing on behalf of my wife and wanted to know if you could link to her website, bettylives.com, where she writes about the midcentury recipes she finds from her collection of old cookbooks.

I have been making these for my low carb diet. I add a raw shrimp to mine and then wrap the bacon around them. They are delicious and healthy too.
OMG these are soooooo good I love them! JB and I tried the same receipe with some green chilis last summer and mmmmmmmm we love them with green chilis even more! You need to try that too!
I have got to try these. I’m about to lick the monitor just looking at them!
I know I’m going to love your blog! Thanks for sharing!

Looks yummy. And I love what was said about being low carb. Can’t wait to give a shot. And I’ve not seen them before either.

Hey girl! Tim & I eat these all the time, in fact we’ll make a bunch, throw them on the grill and make a whole meal out of them. I just got this great new tool called a “Chili Twister” and it lets you cut the jap off at the top and gut the inside. You stuff it and wrap the bacon around it covering the end and you don’t loose any of that yummy cream cheese.

You know Leigh Ann, most folks have trouble finding the infamous chili twister tool. Maybe you could share where you got it and I’ll post about it;)
Thanks for stopping by!

I’m new to your blog so I’m a little late commenting on this recipe, but I thought I would share my variation on this. It’s a little more time consuming, but well worth the effort.
I keep my peppers whole and make a slit down one side. I pop it open like a coin purse and use a small grapefruit spoon to clean out the seeds. Fill with cream cheese and then enclose the entire pepper with pork sausage about a 1/4 in. thick. I then coat it in Pork Shake & Bake and bake at 350 for 30 to 35 minutes. We call them Armadillo Eggs and I can never seem to make enough when I take them to a cookout.
Love the blog!
Wow…another great idea for my favorite pepper. I’ve got to try this too. Thanks, James!

my boyfriend calls the Turkey Eggs… I’ve also heard them referred to as Armadillo Eggs… anyway! you are becoming my new favorite. i found U via your Cowboy Wifes Blog … keep up the good work!
This is so simple. I have a different recipe. I mix 4 oz. cream cheese with 1 c. shredded cheese and 1/2# browned sausage that I cooked with onion. Just pop these in the oven and when they are done, well, there are no leftovers!
I am new to your blog and I love it. I have already told my daughters about it. I plan to tell my grandson who is going to school to become a chef.
I love the recipe on the stuffed jalapenos and plan to try it tomorrow for the Fourth of July. I used to buy the “three cheese stuffed jalapenos” but can no longer find them in the stores. Maybe I will try doing this by using your recipe. The pictures were very helpful.

These are very popular on the Barbecue Forums where they go by the awkward name “Atomic Buffalo Turds”.
The great thing about them is that they are not only delicious but so versatile. I have collected and tried several dozen variations including adding everything from Smoky Links to Pepper Jelly.
I haven’t had a bad one yet.

I add a little Cajun seasoning to the cream cheese ant it really gives the peppers a kick. Everyone asks for the recipe.
[...] here’s my peppers post about peppers!..LOL.
This is an absolute favorite of mine! Another great version is to use fresh green chilis. Oh man, they are even better!!!!!!!!!!
[...] brother-in-law Sean first introduced me to this recipe, but I was able to find it on the web at My Wooden Spoon, complete with step-by-step photo instructions. It is my belief that every recipe worth trying [...]
I bought my chili grill on ebay along with a tool to clean out the seeds and veins. I then put a piece of smoked pepper jack cheese and stuff with hot italian sausage, then wrap a half piece of bacon around them. Put them on my grill for about 45 min.
I like to add honey to my cream cheese before filling peppers…mmm

Please, does anyone know why cutting up jalapeno peppers make your throat close up and make you cough profusely? Seeking fresh air immediately!!!!!!!?????????????
Thank you,
