Best Ever Jalapeno Poppers image

This is a recipe I made by taking the best of three or four popper recipes and combining them to make something that tastes wonderful. A frequent request at my house, and at others. I usually make 100 and put them in the fridge. They don't last long. Adjust the amount of bacon bits and type of shredded cheese to taste. Increase the recipe as necessary! Lots of tests helps to best figure out the way you like it. Be sure to wear rubber gloves while seeding the jalapenos -- they will burn.

Time 1h

Yield 32

Number Of Ingredients 8

12 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 (8 ounce) package shredded Cheddar cheese
1 tablespoon bacon bits
12 ounces jalapeno peppers, seeded and halved
1 cup milk
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup dry bread crumbs
2 quarts oil for frying

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, mix the cream cheese, Cheddar cheese and bacon bits. Spoon this mixture into the jalapeno pepper halves.
  • Put the milk and flour into two separate small bowls. Dip the stuffed jalapenos first into the milk then into the flour, making sure they are well coated with each. Allow the coated jalapenos to dry for about 10 minutes.
  • Dip the jalapenos in milk again and roll them through the breadcrumbs. Allow them to dry, then repeat to ensure the entire surface of the jalapeno is coated.
  • In a medium skillet, heat the oil to 365 degrees F ( 180 degrees C). Deep fry the coated jalapenos 2 to 3 minutes each, until golden brown. Remove and let drain on a paper towel.

These were easy to make and very tasty. I would recommend using a good quality cream cheese and cheddar cheese. I also added some chopped bacon to the filling, which was a nice touch. I will definitely be making these again!

So good! I made these for my family and they loved them. The jalapeños were the perfect amount of spicy, and the filling was creamy and cheesy. I will definitely be making these again!

These were delicious! I'm not a huge fan of spicy food, so I used a mild jalapeño and it was the perfect amount of heat. The filling was creamy and cheesy, and the breading was crispy and flavorful. I would definitely make these again!

I've made these poppers several times now, and they're always a crowd-pleaser. They're easy to make, and the flavor is amazing. I usually use a combination of cream cheese, cheddar, and pepper jack cheese for the filling. I also like to add some chop

These were a hit at my Superbowl party! I used a mix of cream cheese, cheddar, and bacon bits for the filling, and they were so creamy and flavorful. The jalapeños added just the right amount of heat. I'll definitely be making these again!
