Tips:

  • Choose the right peppers: Use medium-sized jalapeños that are firm and have no blemishes. For a milder flavor, remove the seeds and ribs before stuffing.
  • Stuff the peppers evenly: Use a small spoon or your fingers to evenly distribute the stuffing inside the jalapeños. Don't overstuff them, or they will burst open during cooking.
  • Wrap the peppers in bacon: Cut the bacon strips in half lengthwise and wrap each pepper with one piece of bacon. Make sure the bacon is evenly distributed and covers the pepper completely.
  • Bake the peppers until the bacon is crispy and the peppers are tender: This usually takes about 20-25 minutes. Keep an eye on the peppers to make sure they don't burn.
  • Serve the peppers immediately: These are best enjoyed hot and fresh out of the oven. You can garnish them with chopped fresh cilantro or parsley, if desired.
