Southwestern Grilled Bacon Wrapped Jalapeno Poppers
Ingredients
- 18 medium jalapeno peppers
- 8 ounce package cream cheese, softened
- 8 ounces colby jack cheese, shredded
- 1 tablespoon Mrs Dash SW Chipotle Seasoning
- 1 pound bacon, (1 slice per jalapeno)
Instructions
- Preheat grill to medium high.
- Slice jalapenos lengthwise from stem to tip, leaving the stem intact. Use a small spoon to scrape the seeds and veins from jalapenos.
- In a medium bowl, combine cheeses and seasoning. Gently squeeze the stem and tip of jalapeno to open the sliced pocket. Add about 1½ tablespoons of mixture to each jalapeno. Set aside.
- Wrap each jalapeno with a slice of bacon using 1 or 2 toothpicks to secure the bacon.
- Place poppers on the grill cut side down. YES, down. Once the top has cooked and the cheese starts to soften, use a spatula to loosen the bacon from the grill and flip. Cook until bacon is cooked through about 10-15 minutes.
- Serve and enjoy!

Yummy! My husband would make himself sick on these. Hope you are doing well – think of you often.
We make something similar & have for ages. We just use cream cheese & wrap w/the bacon & grill. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE them!!!
This is one of our favorite appetizers of all time. I'm smoking a brisket right now and now I am disappointed that I didn't make any of these to go along with it.
Could cut the jalapeno open, take all the seeds out, insert cheese and then wrap in bacon. MMM 🙂
These jalapeno poppers are so good, and not as hard to make as I expected! This is going to be a repeat appetizer for my house!
