Variations of this recipe

You can use any brand of breakfast sausage when making these baked jalapeno poppers, just make sure it is not the links or patties, you want the roll of breakfast sausage. I personally like to use Jimmy Dean breakfast sausage, but just use your favorite brand. If you are wanting to have extra spice when making these use a spicy breakfast sausage.

When it comes to the cream cheese, you can use low-fat or regular cream cheese to make this jalapeno poppers recipe, however I do not suggest using the whipped cream cheese. I find that the block cream cheese works much better when you are making this easy jalapeno poppers recipe!

For the bacon you can use any bacon, I suggest using a thinner cut bacon, over thick cut though, because you want the bacon to get crispy when you bake the bacon wrapped jalapeno poppers in the oven.

How to Make Jalapeno Poppers

Cook breakfast sausage on stove on medium heat. Cook until all the sausage is brown. Do not drain the sausage.

While sausage is cooking, cut jalapenos down the center (lengthwise) and remove the seeds (you can leave some in if you are wanting them hotter). Once sliced and deseeded place jalapenos in a bowl of ice water for 5 minutes.

Once sausage is fully cooked, place entire package of cream cheese in pan with sausage and stir to mix well.

Preheat oven to 350

Now cut your bacon slices in half. Drain your jalapenos from the bowl of water. Get a baking sheet and spray with non stick spray.

Spoon tablespoon of sausage mix into jalapeno pepper and then place on a baking sheet. Continue until all jalapeno peppers are filled.

Carefully wrap each jalapeno popper with a piece of bacon, and stick toothpick through top to hold bacon in place. Place jalapeno poppers wrapped in bacon on cookie sheet as you are done wrapping each one.

Bake in oven at 350 degrees for 30-45 minutes. You want the bacon to be crispy when you remove the jalapeno poppers wrapped in bacon out of the oven.
