Whole Jalapeno Poppers, a spicy, cheesy, grilled appetizer that will wow your guest. The recipe is straightforward with few ingredients, jalapenos, cream cheese, white cheddar cheese, garlic powder, and of course, bacon.
Stuffed jalapeno peppers are one of those foods I have been intimidated to cook. I have eaten many and love them, but I thought they were too much trouble to make for some idea.
When I finally decided to make some Stuffed Jalapeno Poppers, I recruited the help of my son-in-law, Ben. He has a keen eye for what direction I want with the flavor profile, prepping the food, taking the photos, down to serving them.
I decided to make the stuffed whole ones. The recipe I like most is the one that has the bacon cooked, crumbled, and stuffed inside with the cheese. And I absolutely love the addition of garlic powder to enhance the full flavor profile, just delicious.
You have to remember the bacon is salty enough, so leave out adding any salt.
