Air Fryer Jalapeno Poppers
I’m sure most of you reading this are familiar with Jalapeno Poppers, they are such a popular appetizer. We recently made a batch for a party but made too much of the filling, so I saved it to use on a later date. Coincidentally, the day I planned on using the leftover filling was cold and rainy, so I didn’t feel like grilling but thought, let’s try them in the air fryer and see how it goes. The end result? Air Fryer Jalapeno Poppers that are filled with rich cream cheese, salty bacon, and plenty of melted cheese. They taste similar to the grilled version but seemed to take a fraction of the time. The recipe can be found here. You want to start by removing the tops ONLY of the jalapenos. Core out the inside and remove any seeds. Then slice in half (lengthwise) and set aside. Combine the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, paprika, garlic powder, cumin, … Continue reading

Chicken Jalapeno Popper Chili
We were craving chili this week and decided to try making Chicken Jalapeno Popper Chili. It’s incredibly flavorful without being too spicy. It’s loaded with tender chicken, beans, salty bacon, and creamy/brothy goodness. And it comes together so quickly! No slow cooking all day or simmering on the stove. You basically combine all ingredients in a large pot or Dutch oven, simmer for a short while, and dig in. It’s perfect when you want a warm and hearty meal but don’t have a lot of time. It also makes great leftovers to enjoy the next day or to freeze for a future meal. The recipe can be found here. Start by prepping your ingredients.

Bacon Jalapeno Crescent Roll Puffs
Bacon Jalapeno Crescent Roll Puffs is an easy appetizer or dinner recipe that will be a crowd favorite! I say appetizer or dinner because the recipe is something most people would serve as an appetizer but if you eat enough of them (like we did) they can also be filling enough for an entire meal 😊 Think of this recipe as a spin on a traditional jalapeno popper. You still have the jalapeno, bacon, shredded cheese, and cream cheese but instead of being stuffed inside the jalapenos, the ingredients are wrapped in crescent roll dough. You get crispy bacon and spicy jalapeno, but the heat is cut by the combination of Colby jack and cream cheese. The crescent roll dough creates this warm, soft, pillowy blanket to hold the ingredients together. They are addictive! The recipe can be found here. Start by preheating the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Cook the … Continue reading

Jalapeno Popper Chicken Casserole
Jalapeno Popper Chicken Casserole is a favorite and easy to-to dinner when we are looking for something hearty and delicious. It includes tender, juice chicken that is coated in a creamy mixture and topped with spicy jalapenos, shredded cheese, and crisp bacon. This is a great recipe for lunch or dinner. The recipe can be found here. Start by cooking the bacon according to package instructions. If you are using rotisserie chicken (which I highly recommend), remove the chicken from the bones and shred. If you are using boneless skinless chicken breasts (which also work just fine), cook and cube or shred. You want the meat to be pre-cooked before assembling the dish. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Spread the chicken in the bottom of a 9×13 baking dish. Season with garlic powder, paprika, and pepper (optional). Whisk together the heavy cream, chicken stock, and cream cheese. Spread … Continue reading

Jalapeno Popper Grilled Cheese
If you’re a jalapeno popper fan, I have a wonderful recipe for you! It’s a Jalapeno Popper Grilled Cheese sandwich…and it’s incredible! The bread is toasted to perfection, the jalapenos add the right amount of heat, the bacon is crisp and adds a hint of salt, and the combination of cheeses oozing out of the sandwich in each bite make it just perfect. The recipe can be found here. Start by cooking the bacon according to package instructions. Place on a paper towel lined place to absorb some of the grease and set aside. Pro tip – if you make extra bacon, you have something to snack on while assembling the sandwiches 😊 Next, preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Slice the jalapenos in half (lengthwise) and remove any seeds. Fill each piece of jalapeno with cream cheese. It doesn’t matter if the cream cheese is softened for … Continue reading

Grilled Jalapeno Poppers
If you are searching for the perfect appetizer or side for your next cookout, look no further! Grilled Jalapeno Poppers are the way to go! They are stuffed with an addictive mixture of bacon, cream cheese, and cheddar cheese. The rich and creamy combination of the stuffing contrasts the spicy jalapeno peppers leaving you wanting more.

The recipe can be found here. We own a Jalapeno Grill Rack that we use for this recipe, which I find quite wonderful to use. If you don’t have one, I highly recommend getting one!

One of our favorite side dishes or appetizers to make over the summer is Jalapeno Poppers.
