Jalapeno Poppers topped with fresh chopped tomatoes

Spicy jalapeno peppers filled with creamy cheese and baked until golden.

It's football season.  Do you need an appetizer? A perfect appetizer?  A perfect, spicy appetizer?  Get ready for Jalapeno Poppers!  These are strangely addicting...I love them, yet they make my mouth burn from the spicy jalapeno....and as soon as I'm finished with the first one, I am reaching for just one more!  

Jalapeno Poppers

These poppers can be made ahead of time and then just popped into the oven just before serving.

I usually make a batch using 12 jalapenos.  You can simply adjust this recipe up or down depending on how large a crowd you will have. I like to serve these with alongside a bowl of homemade guacamole and salsa.

    This is an excellent appetizer, Kathy! Great combination of ingredients and a great idea for a party dish. Can I use feta cheese instead of cream cheese?

    I have only discovered Jalapeno peppers a few years ago but I completely agree with you - they are ever so slightly addictive. Fantastic food for the football season!

    This recipe is so timely because I have a whole bag of jalapenos I bought at an organic local farm stand this past weekend. They were so pretty and so perfect and I bought way more than I can ever use! Guess it's jalapeno popper time! 🙂
