Ingredients
- 12 pieces Fresh jalapeños
- 8 ounces Cream cheese
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 12 pieces Bacon strips
- 12 pieces Toothpicks
- 1 can Non-stick cooking spray
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Lightly coat the foil with non-stick cooking spray.
Step 2
Slice each jalapeño in half lengthwise and use a spoon to remove the seeds and membranes. Set the jalapeño halves aside.
Step 3
In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika. Mix thoroughly until well blended.
Step 4
Fill each hollowed-out jalapeño half with a generous amount of the cheese mixture, spreading it evenly.
Step 5
Wrap each stuffed jalapeño half tightly with a strip of bacon, ensuring the cheese is securely enclosed. Use a toothpick to hold the bacon in place if necessary.
Step 6
Arrange the bacon-wrapped jalapeños on the prepared baking sheet with the seam side down.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the jalapeños are tender.
Step 8
Remove from the oven and let the Texas Rockets cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm for the best flavor!
