All opinions are my own.” Summer is right around the corner which always means family get-togethers. There are barbeques, birthdays and holidays where there is lots of good food! The food might just be my favorite part about these gatherings. Every summer jalapeño poppers are a staple on our menu. This recipe is a twist on the poppers my mom makes and I promise you that if you try them you will make them all summer long too! Cheddar Bacon Jalapeno Popper Recipe #appetizer Cheddar Bacon Jalapeno Popper Recipe #appetizer For this recipe you will need the following ingredients:

  • 1 pound of jalapeños
  • 1/2 pound of bacon – cooked until crispy
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
  • 8oz of cream cheese
  • 1 Cheddar Jack & Bacon Fresh Take package 

I found the Fresh Take packages in the shredded cheese section at Walmart. You can see my entire shopping trip HERE. Cheddar Bacon Jalapeno Popper Recipe #appetizer Directions:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • Fry up your bacon. While it is cooking cut and remove the seeds from the jalapeño peppers.
  • Once the bacon is done move it onto a paper towel to absorb the excess grease. In a medium bowl mix together the cream cheese, colby jack cheese from the Fresh Take package, garlic salt and crumble the bacon in and mix.
  • Using a fork stuff the cheese mixture into the jalapeños and then dip into the breadcrumbs from the Fresh Take package.
  • Put peppers on a foil lined baking sheet and bake according the the cooking times below.

Some say that the baking time of a jalapeño has something to do with how spicy hot it is. I have tried this and believe it. If the jalapeno isn’t cooked all the way and some of the vegetable is still raw it seems to be more spicy. If you let them cook for about 35-40 minutes then they seem to be cooked completely. Don’t get me wrong – they still have a kick but just not as much. Since my husband is a sissy when it comes to spicy food we usually go with 40 minutes.

  • Hot – 25 minutes
  • Medium – 32 minutes
  • Mild – 40 minutes

The boys were in the living room and I heard them talking to each other about how mommy must be making bacon and they were going to eat it all. If you are like me it is hard to practice self restraint so we all snuck 1/2 a piece.

Cheddar Bacon Jalapeno Popper Recipe #appetizer Cheddar Bacon Jalapeno Popper Recipe #appetizer Cheddar Bacon Jalapeno Popper Recipe #appetizer Cheddar Bacon Jalapeno Popper Recipe #appetizer Cheddar Bacon Jalapeno Popper Recipe #appetizer I really loved using the Cheddar Jack and Bacon Fresh Take for this recipe because it killed two birds with one stone and it was already measured out for me! The flavoring of the breadcrumbs also enhanced the flavor and brought them to a new level of deliciousness. Have you used a Fresh Take in your cooking before? Please share!
