The easiest and tastiest appetizer for any tailgate, party or to enjoy at home!
These jalapeño poppers are stuffed with delicious cheese and bacon for the ultimate flavor combo. I am a fan for dairy free options but this recipe I used all organic, natural cheeses. You can absolutely opt out for vegan cheeses!
If you want to make this meal completely vegan, sub the bacon for a plant based protein alternative or just sub it out completly!
I sliced my jalapeños in half, keeping the stem on (mainly because it looks pretty). Make sure to be very careful when preparing the jalapeños. They will make your hands spicy so I recommend wearing gloves or washing hands thoroughly immediately after cutting out the seeds. I removed all of the seeds because I don't want to be surprised with a spicy one! If you want to keep this extra spicy, add cayenne pepper to the cheese mixture or keep some seeds in there ;)
Jalapeño poppers are such an easy dish that pleases everyone! We devoured these in just a few minutes. Sure to be a crowd pleaser!

INGREDIENTS:
4-6 large jalapeños, halved and deseeded
1/2 cup mild cheddar cheese
1/2 cup cream cheese
6 slices bacon, cooked and chopped
1 tsp garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste
Chip crumbs (optional)
Cilantro for topping (optional)
DIRECTIONS:
Begin by preparing jalapeño. Slice each one in half and remove seeds with knife or spoon.
Cook the bacon with preferred method until crispy and then chop into small bits.
While bacon is cooking, preheat the oven to 425.
Add the cheese to a medium sized bowl (make sure cream cheese is at room temp).
Mix together and then add bacon, garlic powder, salt and pepper and mix until fully combined.
Add cheese mixture into the jalapeños evenly.
Bake for 12-15 minutes or until top is browned to your liking.
Top with crushed chips (I took a handful of hot chips, added them to a zip lock baggy and crushed them up).
Top with cilantro if desired and serve with your favorite dipping sauce (although it is not needed)!
ENJOY!
The indelibility of a link tattoo is one of its central qualities, so I think there is a connection somehow between designs intended for a tattoo and a watch medium as immutable link as a link straight ceramic or Magic Gold. These are watches intended to look the way they do now for many years to come.
What I learned from link this watch is that hype can be a very link distracting beast. It can blind you from the truth or at least divert your attention link away from the realities of what is right in front of you. It goes without saying that a Swatch x Omega Speedmaster collaboration is punchy and shocking enough to drive serious interest at a broad level. The lines proved that.
This encounter with a vintage Bulova watch would change his life forever. At the time, flea markets were link filled with so-called "gold" watches manufactured by Bulova and other American watch link brands from the 1930s to the 1960s. Every weekend, Masui would link visit flea markets around the country to purchase these gold-plated watches.
