 Ingredients List

  • 12 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 (8 ounce) package shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1 tablespoon bacon bits
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 12 ounces jalapeno peppers, seeded and halved
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 2 quarts oil for frying

 Directions

Perfect Super Bowl snack recipe! If you like spicy, the popper is the way to go.

Directions:

1. In a medium bowl, mix the cream cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, bacon bits, garlic powder and cayenne. Spoon this mixture into the jalapeno pepper halves.

2. Put the milk and flour into two separate small bowls. Dip the stuffed jalapenos first into the milk then into the flour, making sure they are well coated with each. Allow the coated jalapenos to dry for about 10 minutes.

3. Dip the jalapenos in milk again and roll them through the breadcrumbs. Allow them to dry, then repeat to ensure the entire surface of the jalapeno is coated.

4. In a medium skillet, heat the oil to 365 degrees F ( 180 degrees C). Deep fry the coated jalapenos 2 to 3 minutes each, until golden brown. Remove and let drain on a paper towel.
