Bacon Buffalo Cream Cheese Jalapenos on a plate.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

These jalapeno poppers will not win a beauty contest, but once you taste them you'll realize it's what's inside that counts. The filling is creamy, hearty, and flavorful. We love the addition of ground beef; it bulks up the filling. Buffalo wing sauce makes these poppers a little different too. You taste the Buffalo flavor but it's not overpowering. Bacon adds smoky flavor and holds everything in. These are the perfect appetizer for a casual event, game day or a Super Bowl party.

How To Make bacon buffalo cream cheese jalapenos

Step 1

Cook and drain ground meat. Set aside.

Step 2

Wash jalapenos. Cut the stems off first then cut them lengthwise. Scrape all the seeds out. (You may want to wear gloves for this part.)
Step 3

Line a cookie sheet with parchment. Lay out the jalapeno halves. Preheat oven to 375 degreed.
Step 4

Mix together the cream cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, 4 oz shredded cheddar (reserve the other 4 oz for later), cooked hamburger meat, and Buffalo wing sauce.
Step 5

Fill the jalapeno halves with the filling.
Step 6

Cut the bacon in half.
Step 7

Place a slice of bacon under a jalapeno half. Sprinkle a little cheese on top.
Step 8

Wrap the bacon around the jalapeno and secure it with a toothpick. Repeat the process to all the jalapeno halves.
Step 9

Bake in preheated oven for 35-40 minutes until the bacon gets crisp.
Step 10

Remove peppers from the oven. Allow to cool slightly before handling.
Step 11

***Please make sure you wear gloves while handling the peppers***
