These poppers are great for a group sitting around the campfire because they’re easy and fun to assemble, and they don’t require silverware to eat!
Campfire Bacon-Wrapped Jalapeño Poppers
- toothpicks (Soak in water if using wooden toothpicks.)
- 4 oz. cream cheese
- ½ cup cheese, shredded (I use American, cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese.)
- 8–10 jalapeños
- 4–5 slices of bacon, halved
Mix the cream cheese and cheese. Remove the tops of the jalapeños, cut them in half lengthwise and discard the seeds, using a spoon. Spoon the filling into the jalapeño halves, trying not to overfill them. Wrap a half of a slice of bacon around the filled jalapeño, and secure with a toothpick. Place the jalapeño halves, cheese side down, on the grill grate for 7 minutes; flip them over for another 7 minutes or until the bacon is crispy to your liking.
