Grilled Jalapeño Poppers
Description
These grilled jalapeño poppers are stuffed with a creamy Cheddar cheese mixture, wrapped in bacon, and cooked until crispy and irresistible.
Ingredients
•
cooking spray
•
8 ounces cream cheese
•
1 1/2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
•
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
•
1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
•
16 whole jalapeno peppers with stems
•
8 slices bacon, cut in half crosswise
Directions
1
Gather all ingredients. Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
2
Mix cream cheese, Cheddar, Parmesan, and garlic powder together in a bowl until the mixture is thoroughly blended.
3
Lay jalapeño pepper on a work surface and cut a lengthwise sliver from the side of the pepper, exposing seeds and white membrane. With the handle of a teaspoon, scrape out seeds and membrane, leaving the hollow pepper. Repeat for the rest of the peppers.
4
Chop up pepper slivers and mix into cheese stuffing. Stuff each pepper with cheese mixture and wrap each stuffed pepper in a half bacon slice. Secure with toothpicks.
5
Grill stuffed jalapeños on a less-hot part of the grill, turning as needed, until peppers are tender and juicy and bacon is browned and crisp, 30 to 40 minutes.
