Ingredients
- 10 jalapenos similar in size
- 8 ounces cream cheese room temperature
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 3/4-1 pound thin bacon slices
- 20 cocktail smokies
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top.
- Slice each jalapeño in half lengthwise. Remove seeds and membranes completely for a milder flavor.
- In a bowl, mix together cream cheese, shredded cheddar, garlic salt, onion powder, and smoked paprika until smooth and well combined.
- Spoon the cheese mixture into each jalapeño half, enough to coat the inside rather than mound it up.
- Press one cocktail smokie into each filled jalapeño half so it sits snugly on top of the cheese mixture.
- Wrap each jalapeño with a half slice of bacon around the center, securing the smokie inside. Place seam-side down on the rack.
- Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the jalapeños are tender. Let cool slightly before serving.
