Ingredients
Scale
- 4 hot dogs
- 8 slices of bacon
- 2 jalapeños, sliced in half and seeds removed
- 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- Cooking spray or oil (for greasing)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly grease with cooking spray or oil.
- Prepare the Jalapeño Filling: In a small bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir until well combined.
- Stuff the Jalapeños: Fill each jalapeño half with the cream cheese mixture. Set aside.
- Wrap the Hot Dogs: Take two slices of bacon per hot dog and wrap each hot dog, ensuring the bacon overlaps slightly to fully cover the dog.
- Assemble the Dish: Place the bacon-wrapped hot dogs on the prepared baking sheet. Arrange the stuffed jalapeños around the hot dogs.
- Bake: Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the bacon is crispy and the hot dogs are heated through.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool for a minute before serving. Enjoy while hot!
Notes
- For a smokier flavor, you can grill the hot dogs instead of baking them.
- If you prefer a milder flavor, remove the seeds from the jalapeños or use a less spicy variety.
- Serve with dipping sauces like ranch or sriracha mayo for an extra kick.
