Ingredients
Ingredients:
8-ounce package of Hiland Cream Cheese, room temperature
12 large jalapeno peppers
1 ½ cups finely shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1 ¾ teaspoons Head Country Original Championship Seasoning
12 slices Bar-S Bacon
1 ½ cups Southern Roots Sisters Peach Pepper Jam
Items you’ll need:
Toothpicks
Parchment paper
Directions:
- Heat oven to 400 degrees. Place cream cheese in large mixing bowl and allow it to soften.
- Meanwhile split the peppers lengthwise, remove and discard the seeds and veins. Prepare a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Make the filling by combining cream cheese with cheddar cheese. Add the seasoning and mix well using a rubber spatula.
- Stuff the jalapenos by dividing the filling between the halved jalapenos (about 1 tablespoon per half). Smooth out the filling so it is flush with the tops of the peppers.
- Remove the bacon from the package and cut each slice in half. Wrap each half slice of bacon around each stuffed pepper. Secure with a toothpick and arrange on the parchment lined pan.
- Bake the poppers for about 20 minutes, until the bacon is crispy and the filling is melted and lightly browned. Remove pan from oven and coat the poppers using ½ cup of the Peach Pepper Jam and a pastry brush. Return the poppers to the oven and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes. Once removed allow these to cool until the filling begins to set up. Serve with the remaining cup of Peach Pepper Jam as a dipping sauce.
