Looking for a fun snack for any occasion? Filled with cream cheese, wrapped in bacon with mildly spiced jalapeƱo...it's sure to bring a kick to your taste buds! These are super easy to make and wildly addictive!
Don't worry about the spice in these jalapeƱo poppers! Ā I hate anything spicy and these were perfect for me!
The prep for these is definitely worth the reward because they are so delicious. Ā How could you go wrong with bacon and cheese?
Make sure you use gloves when you prep these! Ā You will thank me later!
You want to cut each one in half lengthwise and scrape out the seeds and membrane. Ā This is where the heat is.
The we stuff with the cheese mixture and wrap with bacon.
Use a toothpick to secure the bacon so it doesn't slip off while baking (ask me how I know).
The result is an addictive keto appetizer with on 149 calories and 2g carbs for 2 poppers!

At work, the pilots make these with an air fryer. I asked the one who made them if these were from the grill, since they grill steaks etc. outside. He said "no, we use an air fryer." So I thought if an air fryer can make these taste like they're from a grill, I would eventually get one.
I got mine yesterday and saw your YouTube channel, thank you for posting there and here Jennifer.
I will cook the stuffed jalapeƱos later today, would have last night but I cooked the brussels sprouts. They do use just the cream cheese, I will try them with the added garlic powder and cheddar cheese. They are delicious. Jon that pilot from work likes to spike a few jalapeƱos by leaving the some seeds in a few, so I've gotten the spike lol. Talk about turn up the heat!! ???
