Ingredients

  • 10 jalapeno peppers
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 extra small jalapeno pepper chopped
  • 1 medium onion chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves chopped
  • 12 ounces ground beef
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 10 slices bacon or 20, depending on your preference

Instructions

  • Slice the jalapeno peppers in half lengthwise and scoop out the insides. Set them onto a baking sheet.
  • Heat a large pan to medium heat and heat olive oil. Add chopped jalapeno and onion. Cook about 5 minutes to soften.
  • Add garlic and cook another minute until fragrant.
  • Add ground beef and cook through, about 6-7 minutes. Remove from heat and cool slightly.
  • Swirl in cheddar cheese and mix to incorporate.
  • Stuff each jalapeno pepper with cheese beef mixture.
  • Slice the bacon on half lengthwise and wrap each stuffed pepper. If you want more bacon, use a whole slice of bacon for each popper half.
  • Set oven to broil and set the poppers into the center of the oven, not too close to the heat. Broil the poppers 15 minutes, or until bacon is crisp.
  • Remove from heat and serve!
