Step-by-step instruction without your screen going to sleep
- 12 large jalapeno Peppers (about 3 inches long)
- 6 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 4 ounces shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 slices cooked bacon, chopped finely
- 1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs

Step 1
If the jalapenos have stems, cut them off flush with the tops of the Chili’s. Slice the jalapenos in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. For milder popper’s, remove the white membranes (the ribs).
-
Step 2
In a medium bowl, mix the cream cheese, chili powder, and shredded cheese. Spoon the cheese mixture into the jalapeno halves and place them on the sheet pan if the jalapenos roll or move, use a vegetable peeler to scrape away a thin layer of skin on the base so they are more stable.

Step 3
In a small bowl, stir together the bacon, panko, butter. Top each of the jalapeno house with the panko mixture.
