Bacon Wrapped Jalapeño Poppers

Hitting the classic football party food with these jalapeño peppers stuffed with cream cheese and wrapped in crispy bacon!

I know what you're thinking:  "Nikki, these are soooo five years ago!"  You're wrong!  They are more like "soooo SEVEN years ago!" when The Pioneer Woman placed this recipe in the spotlight.  HA!  But, it's a recipe I make during the football season and, therefore, I want it added to my index.

In fact, in the coming months you will probably see a few more classic recipes pop up here and there.  I realized not too long ago that I haven't posted many traditional recipes lately because I'm so focused on trying to bring you something creative and new.  But, at the same time, I want to make sure I'm collecting the classic recipes I love so they are all in the same place.  It might surprise you, but I don't post recipes here only for you.  I post them so I have them logged for me, too.  🙂  It's the reason I started blogging in the first place, almost eight years ago!

Plus, you never have too many reminders to wrap something in bacon, right?

These are always a hit at any party, except for those who can't take the heat.  If you scoop out the membranes and seeds, you're usually okay with very little to no spiciness.  However, it can be unpredictable and you'll be surprised with an isolated flaming one!  So, be careful especially if you are sensitive to spicy food!

Anything wrapped in bacon is a winner in my book.  But, adding cream cheese to the mix?  That's over the top delicious!
