Cheez-It Crackers, jalapeños, bacon, and cream cheese? Say less. 🥵🔥 Make these Bacon Jalapeño Cheez-It Poppers this weekend & thank us later.
 
Ingredients:
4 strips thick cut bacon
1 cup Original Cheez It Crackers
8 medium jalapeños, sliced and cored
4 ounces cream cheese, softened to room temperature
1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 cup shredded Monterey jack cheese
2 large scallions, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon kosher salt
Nonstick cooking spray
 
 
To make:
Preheat oven to 375F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a medium skillet over medium heat, cook bacon until crisped, 3-4 minutes per side. Remove to a paper towel lined plate. Once cool enough to handle, finely chop bacon. In the same skillet with the residual rendered bacon fat over medium low heat, toast Cheez-It Crackers until lightly golden brown, mixing around with a rubber spatula to coat in the fat, 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat. Reserve 16 whole Cheez It Crackers and finely chop the rest. In a medium bowl, mix cream cheese, shredded cheeses, scallions, chopped bacon (reserving a couple tablespoons for garnish), chopped Cheez-It Crackers, and salt. Mix to combine.  Arrange jalapeño halves on a prepared baking sheet. Scoop heaping tablespoons of the cream cheese mixture into the hollowed out jalapeño shells. Top with reserved bacon and coat with cooking spray. Bake until peppers are tender and filling is golden brown, 18-20 minutes. Remove from oven and top each jalapeño with reserved toasted Cheez It. Serve immediately.
