- Nutrafarms bacon strips
- Jalapeños
- ½ cup cream cheese
- A handful of shredded cheese (cheddar or your choice)
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
👩🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prepare the Jalapeños
Wash the jalapeños, cut them in half lengthwise, remove the seeds, and cut off the stems.
2. Make the Cheese Filling
In a bowl, mix cream cheese, shredded cheese, and brown sugar until smooth and creamy.
3. Stuff the Jalapeños
Fill each jalapeño half generously with the cheese mixture.
4. Wrap with Bacon
Cut bacon strips in half and wrap each stuffed jalapeño with half a strip, securing with a toothpick if needed.
