There has been in a trend lately where jalapenos stuffed with cream cheese and wrapped in bacon have been going around at parties. They are tasty little morsels, but I wanted something a little more exciting than plain cream cheese. So yesterday, armed with fresh jalapenos and three cheeses, I made these cheese stuffed jalapenos. Delish!
They are perfect as a side dish on Taco Night, would be great as party food, and can also be served as an appetizer. They are pretty simple and cheap to make, so give them a try!
As a bonus, from now on when I think a dish is on the cheap side to make, I am going to try to tell you what it costs me!
Three Cheese Stuffed Jalapenos
Ingredients
6 fresh jalapenos (only cost me .74 and makes 12 of these snacks - plenty for 2 people)
1/2 of an 8oz block of cream cheese, softened (costs .60 to .75 depending on store brand or name brand, I used a name brand)
1/4 of an 8oz block of colby/jack cheese, shredded (.41 - out store had a sale on Kraft blocks and I had a coupon!)
2 tbs of parmesan (around .10, hard to measure)
Sprinkle of black pepper, seasoning salt, and garlic powder
Directions:
Preheat oven to 425.
Cut jalapenos in half lengthwise and remove all the seeds (*hint, I use gloves to do this. At the very least make sure you wash your hands thoroughly after this task and don't touch your body parts - you will be sorry!) Lay them out on a baking sheet lined with foil.
Mix cheeses together. When well combined, add in a dash of salt, pepper, and garlic. Mix together well.
Fill jalapeno halves with cheese.
Bake for 10-20 minutes, until peppers soften and cheese becomes brown and bubbly.
Enjoy!
