Bacon-wrapped BLT Jalapeno Poppers | Low Carb

I don’t know about you, but I love jalapeno poppers.

When I tasted bacon-wrapped poppers at a friend’s house, I think the heavens may have opened and I might’ve heard angels singing!

So when Mad Dash Mixes offered to send us some of their mixes to sample, I knew what I wanted to create as soon as I saw their BLT Dip Mix.

It was time to take the delicious bacon-wrapped jalapeno popper to a whole new level of yum.

Instead of just a cream cheese filling, how about a BLT filling?

Introducing, Bacon-wrapped BLT Jalapeno Poppers!

I love that they have gluten-free options since one of my daughters is gluten intolerant.

For those of you who eat sugar, their dessert mixes sound so good! I wish they offered options made with a low carb sweetener… (hint, hint, Tiffany!!)

How to Make Bacon-Wrapped BLT Jalapeno Poppers

Thanks to Mad Dash Mixes’ BLT Dip Mix, this recipe goes together so quickly. Here’s what you’ll need:

• Jalapeno peppers (3-inch long)
• Thin-sliced bacon
• Cream cheese or Neufchatel cheese
• Shredded cheddar cheese
• Mad Dash Mixes BLT Dip Mix

Tips for Making Bacon-wrapped BLT Jalapeno Poppers

Start off by getting out all your ingredients and preheating the oven to 400 degrees F.

The cream cheese can soften while you prep your jalapenos.

Slice the peppers in half lengthwise and remove the inner membranes and seeds.

Keep in mind: most of the heat of a jalapeno is in those membranes and the seeds!

You may want to wear gloves to protect your hands from the oils while you’re doing this.

Trust me when I say, those oils can stick around on your hands even after you wash them… And taking out a contact lens can BURN like a thousand suns.

Now, if you like spicier foods, you can save some of those seeds and mix them into the filling.

But a little goes a very long way.

Next, shred the cheese.

You can definitely use the kind in a bag, but honestly, I think freshly shredded cheese tastes better.

Not to say that there aren’t days when I’m all about the bag o’ cheese!

Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for super easy cleanup.

Put racks inside the pan and spray them with cooking spray.

Assembly

Add the cream cheese and cheddar cheese to a medium-sized mixing bowl and start to mix it together.

Then add the BLT Dip Mix and stir until everything is completely mixed.

See what I mean about simple?

I love easy recipes like this!

Once it’s all mixed, it’s time to stuff your jalapenos!

You don’t want to over-stuff them or else a bunch of the filling will melt out of the peppers when you cook them.

Put in just enough of the BLT mixture to be level with the top edge of the pepper.

Then, wrap one slice of bacon around each stuffed pepper.

I like to “close off” the open end of the pepper with the bacon.

There’s no need to use toothpicks to hold the bacon in place if you use thin-sliced bacon.

Bake them for 20-25 minutes until the bacon is nice and crispy.

And then try not to eat the oozy bits that melted out… ?

You can serve them with some ranch dressing for dipping if you want.

But personally I don’t like messing with the amazing flavor of the BLT filling!

These BLT Jalapeno Poppers were a huge hit at the tailgate!

Everyone raved about how much flavor they had.

But as per usual, we brought way more food than we needed for just 6 people… You know what that means, right?

LEFTOVERS!
