Cracked Out Jalapeño Poppers
Cracked Out Jalapeño Poppers - jalapeños stuffed with cream cheese, cheddar, and Ranch and wrapped in bacon. These things are CRAZY good! I took them to a party and they were gone in a flash! Can make ahead of time and bake when ready. Tastes great warm and at room temperature.
This recipe is from Plain Chicken reader, William. William emailed me this summer and pointed out that I was missing a very obvious "crack" recipe - Cracked Out Jalapeño Poppers. OMG! He was totally right. I immediately tried the recipe and we absolutely LOVED it! I took these to a tailgate and they were gone in a flash! You can assemble these ahead of time and refrigerate them until you are ready.
I baked these Cracked Out Jalapeño Poppers on a baking sheet topped with a baking rack. Cooking the bacon wrapped poppers on the rack helps get the bacon nice and crispy. These Cracked Out Jalapeño Poppers taste great warm or at room temperature. They are perfect for watching all the NFL playoff games and the upcoming College National Championship game!
