These poppers came to party. Jalapeños are a great addition to turn up the heat on recipes and provide as much vitamin C as an orange! The heat of a jalapeno is based on how much it is watered, less water equals a high heat content. So ask your farmer or just go for the gamble!
6 jalapeños
3/4 cup cream cheese
6 strips of bacon
1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/3 cup diced green peppers
1/4 cup diced red onion
2 cloves garlic, diced
Pinch salt and pepper
Heat oven to 400′.
Place bacon in the oven and cook partially for 5-7 minutes (this will make it crispier when the poppers are actually cooked).
Microwave cream cheese and water in a bowl for 30 second intervals until smooth.
Add shredded cheese, yogurt, garlic, green peppers, onion, salt and pepper to the cream cheese mixture and stir well.
Fill jalapeños with cream cheese mixture and then wrap with the partially cooked bacon, using a toothpick to secure bacon in place.
Place stuffed jalapeños back on the sheet pan and bake for 3-5 minutes at 475′.
