INGREDIENTS

1 lb jalapeno peppers, about 10 jalapenos sliced in half and seeds removed ▢1 cup sharp cheddar cheese grated ▢8 oz cream cheese package room temperature ▢6 slices bacon sliced ▢3 tablespoons your favorite chips crushed ▢greens like cilantro, chives or parsley for garnish, 100% optional

Step 1

Add bacon to a skillet and cook on medium/high heat until crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. This will soak up any excess grease that would make the filling too runny.

Step 2

Combine cheddar cheese, cream cheese, and bacon bits in a bowl and mix to combine, making sure it's all incorporated.

Step 3

Fill each individual jalapeno half by loading it with the cheese mixture, but don't overload it. Place them on a baking sheet and bake until the cheese melts and the tops are golden brown about 10-12 minutes.

Step 4

Keep an eye on them, if they bake for too long or the cheese is too full, you may notice it flips the peppers on its side and the cheese may fall out. If this happens, just scoop it back in.

Step 5

Finish it off with a sprinkling of crushed chips and any optional herbs you desire before serving.
