Bacon Wrapped Stuffed Jalapeños

Heaven = Stuffed Jalepeños!
Heaven = Stuffed Jalepeños!

The only thing better than a stuffed pepper, is one that’s wrapped in bacon. Mmmm. Heaven.

This is one of my favorite recipes, and it’s so simple that you don’t really need one. There are only four ingredients: jalapeños, cream cheese, bacon and love.
Ok, maybe bacon and love are the same thing. So, three ingredients.

And it’s easy to remember: 12-12-12.
12 pieces of bacon +
12 oz cream cheese +
12 jalapeños = YUMMY!

All you need is love...and jalepeños, bacon and cream cheese!
All you need is love…and jalepeños, bacon and cream cheese!

These peppers have a strange way of disappearing. Fast. No matter how much I make of them, they never last more than 24 hours in my house. This batch was gone just 12 hours after I made them! Glad I was able to catch the evidence before it was all eaten. I’ll admit to eating my fair share. The aroma alone fills the house and drives everyone to the brink of insanity waiting for them to get done. Really, this recipe is one of the main reasons I grow peppers.

The total cost for this recipe?
$1.34 for 1.35 lbs of peppers at .99/lb (Kroger)
$1.98 for 2 bars of cream cheese (Aldi)
$2.99 for 1 lb of premium bacon (Aldi)
———
$6.31 for 24 stuffed, bacon-wrapped pepper halves

What’s not to love?

A word of caution though: the oils in peppers can be quite volatile and can really burn your hands if you’re sensitive to them. For years I never had trouble, but suddenly found my skin in flames after handling them, no matter how careful I was nor how many times I washed my hands immediately after touching them. If you are sensitive to these oils, you’ll know it. Take precautions and use those disposable plastic “lunch lady” gloves for food prep.

The only thing better than a stuffed jalapeño is one that's also wrapped in bacon. This recipe only has three ingredients and is easy to make. Be sure to wear gloves to protect your hands from the volatile oils in the peppers.

Caution: Wear gloves when you gut the jalapeños to prevent chemical burns to your hands from the volatile oils in them.

Cut the bacon in half as well as the jalapeños. Twice as much yummy goodness!

Waiting for them to cool is the hardest part! You want to blow your mouth off, not burn it off!
