Jalapeno Poppers with Bacon

Jalapeno Poppers are the ultimate appetizer. You’ll love these halved jalapenos stuffed with a rich cream cheese and bacon mixture.

Just like our Guacamole and Spinach Artichoke Dip, these bacon stuffed jalapeno poppers are such a hit at parties and they always disappear fast.

These are great paired with a dip like our popular Avocado Ranch or Jalapeno Ranch.

How to Make Jalapeno Poppers

Jalapeno Poppers use simple ingredients and are so EASY to make. It’s similar to our Cheeseball filling but stuffed into jalapeños.

  • Bacon: Cook the bacon using your favorite method. We just cut it into small pieces and cook on the stovetop until crispy. Once cooled, chop bacon into small pieces.
  • Jalapenos: Purchase fresh jalapenos. Cut in half and scrape out the seeds.
  • Make Filling: In a bowl, combine all of the ingredients for the filling.
  • Fill Jalapenos: Fill the halved jalapenos with the cream cheese filling, distributing the mixture evenly between the pepper halves.
  • Bake: Bake the jalapenos until the cheese is melted and is golden.
Step by step collage on how to make the filling for the jalapeno poppers.

How to Cut Jalapeños

Jalapeno Peppers are spicy! We highly recommend you wear kitchen gloves to clean the peppers to protect your skin from being burned.

  • Slice the jalapenos in half lengthwise.
  • Remove the seeds and membranes. TIP: You can leave in some of the membranes for extra spiciness.
Sliced and seeded jalapeños, parmesan cheese, and a bowl of the filling on a tray.

Pro Tip: If you love more heat in your jalapenos, you can leave in some of the membranes for extra spiciness.

Make-Ahead

You can assemble the jalapeno poppers up to 3 days in advance and keep them refrigerated in an airtight container. Bake or air fry per the instructions before serving.

Air Fryer Jalapeno Poppers

We love the air fryer for making quick and easy appetizers like our popular Air Fried Chicken Wings. You can make Jalapeno poppers in the Air Fryer in a single layer at 325˚F for 10-12 minutes.

Storing Leftovers

Once cooled, refrigerate for up to 3 days in an airtight container. To reheat, cover the dish with foil and cook until reheated through.

The jalapeno bites are not overly spicy and the perfect appetizer or side dish for potlucks and parties.

    I made these yesterday for the superbowl and they were the fan favorite! I’ve never made poppers before, but I like the idea of cooking the bacon ahead of time rather than wrapping the peppers with bacon & then cooking. I had high hopes because I have not been disappointed by a recipe from Natasha yet. Will definitely be making these again!

    Hello, I just made these and my kids just devoured them. Two of my three are really picky about food, but we all enjoyed them so much. It was really easy to make. I suggest wearing gloves when handling the peppers. I did not and later on my fingers hurt like I burnt them on something..lol. The sensation didn’t last long but I guess I should have done more research before making these. I will definitely make more!! Thanks Natasha!

      I’ve been burned by peppers before too. I learned if you wash your hands with dish soap like Dawn undiluted it will stop the burning. Apparently peppers leave an oil on your hands that needs extra attention to remove. 🙂

    Love these! I want you to know they freeze very well. I made a big batch of these with jalapeños from my garden, froze them. 6 months later took them out on New Years Day and popped them in the oven from frozen and they came out perfect. Still full flavor!
    I did cheat when I made them, I used pre-cooked bacon that I chopped and I used grated sweet onion instead of green onion.

    Reply

    • Natashas Kitchen
      November 23, 2022

      Hi Lisa, it would work with chives, or even leaving out the onion would be ok. I got this from a Google search to better explain it: “Chives and green onions are different visually. Chive stems are long, very skinny, solid green and tender, whereas green onions have a thicker, more substantial stem that is green toward the top and white at the bottom. Chives are delicate and tender and are best eaten raw or cooked very briefly” I hope that helps!

    We made these on a charcoal grill, sprayed a vegetable bbq cooking pan w/ olive oil spray. Cover to reach as close to 400 degrees as you can get, turn pan (or in our case do-si-do 2 pans) after grill reaches 375-400 for a few minutes… When the cheese tops start to brown (1 rotation – maybe 20min total for us), you’re done. Ours slid right off the stainless grilling pan onto a serving dish. The ones that turned over didn’t stick (ie sufficiently but lightly browned). Tongs come in handy. One lesson we learned is to not overload the poppers with cheese – about even with the popper side is sufficient / better.

    The mods we made to this recipe:
    – no Parmesan;
    – 1/2 mild cheddar, and 1/2 made up of (about 3/4 sharp white cheddar, 1/4 blue cheese)
    – 2 cloves of garlic
    – himalayan salt and pepper straight from grinders (probably about 2-3 x more pepper than called for)

    Left over filling can be used on crackers.

    That’s it.
    Maybe the best poppers I’ve ever had – enjoy!

    These are amazing and an awesome quick dish! We don’t eat pork so I omitted the bacon. I also left some of the membrane and seeds of the peppers to give it a little kick and it was perfect! One more confession…I prepped these 7 days, SEVEN, one week in advance haha and they were still PERFECT!! Cheese can last forever anyway so there was nothing wrong with them hanging out in the fridge until I needed them 🙂 For those who like to prepare in advance, I thought that would be useful information 🙂 Thanks for the awesome recipe!! Totally a keeper.

    These were phenomenal!! I didn’t have cheddar cheese so I used cream cheese, 1 cup parmesan and 1 cup triple blend cheese and I also only scraped a little of the insides of the jalapeños. They turned out amazing and we couldn’t stop eating them!! So yummy thank you for the recipe!

    These were excellent. The only thing I did different was omit the salt because my bacon had enough of it and I added a couple more pieces of bacon. Will definitely make again. My first food review. Love your videos.

    Spray foil with olive oil spray, put peppers on foil and grill on low until cheese is nice and creamy and peppers soft. Leave some seeds in the pepper if you like them hot.

    I make mine like this but add a medium piece of pre cooked fajita chicken meat in the bottom. One that fits the pepper without being to large, I sometimes have to cut it to fit good. Then put the cheese mixture on top and around the meat.

      Hi Oksana, it really depends on the jalapenos. Some are spicy and sometimes they are very mild. Most of the ones at the grocery store are fairly mild-moderate spiciness. Also, baking removes some of the spiciness and if you want less spice, be sure to remove and scrape out the seeds and the white stuff inside the jalapenos.
