Pepper Popper Fingers Recipe
  • Prep: 40 min. Bake: 20 min.
  • Yield: 24 Servings
40 20 60

Ingredients

  • 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup (4 ounces) shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup (4 ounces) shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 6 bacon strips, cooked and crumbled
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon chili powder
  • 12 medium jalapeno peppers, stems removed, halved lengthwise and seeded
  • 1/2 cup dry bread crumbs
  • 2 tablespoons ketchup
  • 1/4 cup sliced almonds

Directions

  • In a large bowl, combine the cheeses, bacon and seasonings. Spoon about 1 tablespoonful into each pepper half. Dip tops of stuffed peppers into bread crumbs.
  • Place a small amount of ketchup at the end of each popper; top with a sliced almond to resemble a fingernail. Place in a greased 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pan. Bake, uncovered, at 325° for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Yield: 2 dozen.

Editor's Note: Wear disposable gloves when cutting hot peppers; the oils can burn skin. Avoid touching your face.
