Equipment

  • 1 Baking sheet
  • 1 Parchment paper
  • 1 Butter knife

Ingredients
  

  • 8 oz cream cheese room temp
  • 8 jalapeño peppers
  • ½ cup shredded cheese Colby or cheddar
  • 1 tbls ranch powder
  • 8 slices bacon cut in chunks

Instructions
 

  • Heat oven to 400*F. Prepare your baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Halve the jalapeño peppers lengthwise. Scrape out the seeds (leave some in for heat).
  • Mash the softened creamcheese together with the shredded cheese and ranch powder until combined.
  • Divide the filling between the halved jalepenos, about 1 tbls per half. Use a butter knife to smooth the filling so it's flush with the top of the pepper.
  • Top the filling with bacon pieces.
  • Top with crushed ritz if desired.
  • Bake the peppers for 25 minutes.
  • Serve while warm.

Notes

  • Medium-sized jalapeños work best for even baking and easy filling.
  • Use full-fat cream cheese for the creamiest texture.
