You might also be surprised by the jalapeño health benefits, jalapeños are jam-packed with vitamins, minerals, fiber, and antioxidants. 🌶
When you think of vitamin C you probably think of oranges, but jalapeños actually contain a lot of Vitamin C and vitamin B6, which helps your body fight free radicals and promotes healthy, firm skin.
Ok, ladies don’t go rubbing jalapeño on your face that might not turn out well.
Jalapeños apparently can promote weight loss too. They contain capsaicin which can boost your metabolism by 4-5%. I mean obviously eating this one recipe isn’t going to have a massive impact on your metabolism, but still good to know!

how to make Jalapeno poppers in the oven
First, you will want to cook your four pieces of bacon and shred 4 oz of cheddar cheese and preheat your oven to 350F. In the mean time , mix the cheddar cheese and cream cheese together. It might get a little messy but the best method is to just use your hands because the two cheeses are difficult to combine with a spoon.
Crumble or chop your four pieces of bacon and mix into the cheese mixture. I prefer adding th chopped bacon verse Bacon Wrapped Jalapeno Poppers, because the bacon usually comes all off with the first bite when you wrap it.
Now cut your jalapenos in half and remove the seeds and ribs. Then use a spoon to stuff the jalapeno halves with the bacon and cheese mixture, evenly distributing the filling between all 20 halves.
Finally, bake your jalapeno poppers in the over for 10 minutes.
