Notes
- Ensure the jalapeños are properly prepared by slicing them in half lengthwise, removing the seeds and membranes to achieve the desired level of heat, and filling them generously with cream cheese or your favorite cheese mixture before wrapping them tightly in bacon to ensure even cooking and flavor penetration.
- Cook the bacon-wrapped jalapeño poppers at a consistent temperature (around 375°F or 190°C) to allow the bacon to crisp up nicely while the peppers become tender; consider using a baking rack to elevate them for better air circulation, and monitor the cooking time (typically 20-30 minutes) to avoid burning the bacon while achieving that perfect crispy texture.
