Stuffed Poppers

It seems like I have been obsessed with Pinterest recipes lately but really I am not. I am not! Ok, maybe a little. Here is a simple no fuss way to make jalapeno poppers at home. I learned about it from Lindsay at Hello Hue (she has way better pictures so I suggest you go over for those at the very least).

If you are not familiar with stuffed jalapenos or jalapeno poppers, most restaurants carry them on their appetizer menu. They are usually a jalapeno that has been sliced in half stuffed with some kind of cheese substance that have been coated and deep fried and served with a dip. Yum!

When I saw Lindsay’s recipe I knew I had to try it for three reason: jalapeno, bacon, cream cheese and the sheer simplicity of it. Lindsay’s recipe uses Pillsbury Crescent dough as a substitute for the coating and instead of only slicing the peppers in half they are chopped with the other ingredients.

Jalapeno Poppers Recipe

Ingredients:

  • 1 can Pillsbury Crescent Roll
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons of cream cheese
  • 2 jalapeños
  • 3 strips of cooked bacon

Directions:

Open up can of Pillsbury Crescent Rolls and unroll dough. Divide each triangle in two. Divide ingredients between all pieces of dough (as you can see my dough was a little stretched and uncooperative.

Fold the dough over the ingredients and pinch edges closed. Bake in 350°F oven for about 10 minutes. Let sit for a minute or two then enjoy.

These were a tasty alternative and fun to make but I still prefer the restaurant version. If you are not into jalapenos substitute with chopped wieners and cheddar.
