01 Step
Recipe View
Preheat your oven's broiler with a rack positioned 6 inches from the heat source. (5 minutes)
02 Step
Recipe View
Prepare the jalapeños: Ensure each jalapeño half is clean and dry. (5 minutes)
03 Step
Recipe View
Fill each jalapeño half generously with softened cream cheese. (10 minutes)
04 Step
Recipe View
Sprinkle the filled jalapeños with Cajun seasoning, adjusting the amount to your desired level of heat. (2 minutes)
05 Step
Recipe View
Wrap each cream cheese-filled jalapeño with a half-slice of jalapeño bacon, securing it with a toothpick. (10 minutes)
06 Step
Recipe View
Arrange the bacon-wrapped jalapeños in a single layer, stuffed-side down, on a broiler pan lined with foil. (3 minutes)
07 Step
Recipe View
Broil in the preheated oven until the bacon is crisp and the jalapeños are slightly softened, approximately 8 to 15 minutes per side, watching carefully to prevent burning. (8-30 minutes)
08 Step
Recipe View
Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving. (5 minutes)
For a milder flavor, remove all seeds and membranes from the jalapeños. For extra heat, leave some of the seeds intact.
Soaking the toothpicks in water helps prevent them from burning under the broiler.
If you don't have jalapeño bacon, regular bacon with a dash of cayenne pepper works as a substitute.
These firecrackers are best served warm, but they can also be enjoyed at room temperature.
Serve with a cooling dipping sauce like ranch or blue cheese dressing to balance the heat.

May 12, 2025Baking them on a wire rack set inside a baking sheet helps the bacon get crispy all around.

Nov 29, 2024To reduce the spice, soak the halved jalapeños in ice water for about 30 minutes before stuffing them.

Nov 3, 2024I found that using a piping bag to fill the jalapeños made the process much quicker and cleaner.

Dec 4, 2023These are amazing! I used a mix of cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese with the cream cheese, and it was a hit!

Aug 26, 2022Warning: these are definitely spicy! If you're sensitive to heat, use less Cajun seasoning or choose milder jalapeños.
