Ingredients

  • 1 pound jalapeños
  • 8 ounces softened cream cheese
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded cheese use cheddar or a blend
  • 2 TBSP milk
  • 2 TBSP sriracha
  • 3/4 cup chopped bacon use real bacon bits!
  • *optional if not using sriracha* 1/2 tsp salt 1/2 tsp garlic powder

Instructions

  • preheat oven to 400°
  • wash and dry peppers
  • wear gloves if you need to
  • cut peppers in half lengthwise
  • use a spoon to scrape out the seeds and pith, leaving the stem end in place, if you cut this off the filling will pour out
  • set pepper halves in a baking pan or on a baking sheet
  • mix the cream chees, shredded cheese, milk, and some of the sriracha together until well combined
  • taste and add more sriracha if needed, you can always add more but you can't take it out
  • set aside 1/4 cup of the bacon and mix the rest of the bacon into the filling
  • fill the pepper halves
  • top with the remaining bacon
  • bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until peppers are knife tender, the tip of the knife can pierce the pepper with little resistance
  • cool slightly before serving
