Jalapeno popper is such a fun delicious flavor and I’ve already shared plenty of popper recipes with you such as Air Fryer Jalapeno Poppers, Jalapano Popper Stuffed Bread, Jalapeno Popper Bombs, and even Cheddar Jalapeno Cream Cheese!

How to make Jalapeno Popper Grilled Cheese:

**scroll down for full ingredients list and printable directions**

First, get all the ingredients together. After we make the filling, we will make an assembly line to put the sandwiches together.

In a medium bowl, add the softened ream cheese, HALF of the shredded cheeses (set the other half aside), garlic, spices, and chopped jalapeños to a bowl and mix thoroughly. Set aside.

Taking 4 slices of bread, butter one side of each slice of bread. Place the buttered sides face down. Add half of the cream cheese mixture to 2 slices of bread. Top the other 2 slices with the remaining shredded cheese. Place the cream cheese mixture slice of bread on top of the other slice, with the buttered sides facing out.

Using a heavy bottom skillet, heat over medium heat for 1-2 minutes. Add sandwiches to the skillet and cook 3-4 minutes on the first side. Once golden, flip and cook for 2 minutes on the next side.
Remove from the skillet, cut sandwiches in half, and serve immediately.

Tips for making the perfect grilled cheese:

Keep the skillet over a medium/low heat. It is very easy to burn the bread while cooking a grilled cheese, so avoid this by cooking over medium/low heat. This ensures the cheese melts while not cooking the bread too quickly.
Use enough cheese! Grilled cheese is meant to be packed with cheese…don’t skimp!
Eat right after it’s cooked! No one likes soggy or cold hardened grilled cheese! Eat it freshly cooked for the most outstanding taste!

If you like grilled cheese as much as I do, you HAVE to try these other amazing sandwiches:

A Jalapeno Popper Cheese Ball is the perfect party or game day appetizer! It’s creamy with a little kick and crunch, and it’s majorly delicious and super easy to make!

I love making a classic cheese ball, but this year I decided to put a spin on it. Jalapeno Poppers are always such a hit that I decided to try out a Jalapeno Popper Cheese Ball, and it is majorly delicious and addictive! It takes hardly any hands-on time to make! You can freeze it for future use, and it’s so tasty and unique! Perfect for game day, parties, potlucks, or anytime…this Jalapeno Popper Cheese Ball will be a favorite for years to come!

I love jalapeno anything! I’ve shared everything from Jalapeno Poppers to Jalapeno Stuffed Bombs to Jalapeno Cheddar Cream Cheese with y’al! You are going to LOVE this Jalapeño Popper Cheese Ball!

A Jalapeno Popper Cheese Ball is simple to make and even more delicious!

How to make a Jalapeno Popper Cheese Ball:

*Scroll all the way down for full printable recipe and ingredient list*

Get all of the ingredients together for the Jalapeno Popper Cheese Ball filling.
- Make sure the cream cheese is a bit softened. If it’s straight out of the fridge, remove it from the wrapper and place it in a microwave safe bowl. Cook for 30 seconds.
In a medium bowl, add cream cheese, shredded cheddar and pepper jack cheese, bacon, jalapeno, and the seasoning.
Using a fork, potato masher, or pastry blender, mix all the ingredients thoroughly.
Use a spatula to clean the sides of the bowl and push everything to the center of the bowl.
Place a clean sheet of plastic wrap on the counter. Then, use the spatula to remove the cream cheese filling, and place it into the center of the plastic wrap. Loosely wrap the cream cheese mixture, and then form it into a ball (just do the best you can, it doesn’t have to be perfect). Wrap up tightly, then place in fridge for at least 2 hours.

TIP: I place the wrapped cheese ball into a bowl, then put in the fridge. It prevents the bottom of the cheese ball from getting too flat.

Get all the ingredients for the crunchy coating together.
- Toast the nuts lightly, then chop and set aside.
Using a baking sheet, add bread crumbs, bacon bits (or chopped bacon), pepper jack cheese, and jalapeños. Toss everything to combine.

Once the cream cheese mixture has been refrigerated for at least 2 hours, remove it from the fridge and form into a better ball. This will be easier since the mixture is firmer at this point.
Place the cheese ball at the end of the baking sheet and roll into the crumbs, pressing it down slightly to get the crumb mixture to stick into the ball. Repeat until the Jalapeno Popper Cheese Ball is completely coated.

Serve the Jalapeno Popper Cheese Ball immediately with crackers and other dippers!

Can I make the Jalapeno Cheese Ball ahead of time?

Yes, absolutely!

Make the cream cheese mixture, form into the ball, and place it in the fridge. This will keep in the fridge up to 5 days.
Make the outside coating right before serving the Jalapeno Popper Cheese Ball, and coat the cheese ball up to a few hours before serving.

TIP: If you coat the cheese ball ahead of time, you risk letting the crunchy coating get soggy and that’s no good!

How to freeze a cheese ball:

Make the cream cheese filling, form into a ball using plastic wrap, cover completely, wrapping tightly with a few layers of plastic wrap.
Place the Jalapeno Popper Cheese Ball into a freezer safe bag (I like the gallon size); place into freezer.
Will keep up to 6 months in the freezer.
Remove and place in fridge the day before you’d like to serve the Jalapeno Popper Cheese Ball. Coat the cheese ball up to a few hours before serving.

Air Fryer Jalapeno Poppers are an appetizer staple, and this version will be your go-to recipe. Using the air fryer, they are done in under 10 minutes and amazingly delicious!

I love Jalapeno Poppers, but don’t love how long they take to make. I often buy them at the store, but you can save a TON of money by making them yourself, and its SUPER EASY! Using the Air Fryer is amazing for jalapeno poppers because it cooks so quickly and evenly. It takes 10 minutes to make this easy appetizer recipe from start to finish!

Like I said, making these Air Fryer Jalapeno Poppers is EASY! Here’s how:

How to make Air Fryer Jalapeno Poppers:

**scroll down for full ingredients list and printable directions**

Make the filling for the jalapeno poppers: Soften cream cheese (microwave 30 seconds), then add salt, pepper, onion powder, and garlic to the cream cheese. Add finely grated extra sharp cheddar cheese and Monterey cheese to the cream cheese. Mix with a fork until everything is completely combined.

Prep the jalapeños: Wash the whole jalapeños, then cut them in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Set them aside. WASH YOUR HANDS!
Make the filling for the jalapeno poppers: Soften the cream cheese (microwave 30 seconds), then add salt, pepper, onion powder, and garlic. Add finely grated extra sharp cheddar cheese and Monterey cheese to the cream cheese. Mix with a fork until everything is completely combined.
Next, you are going to fill the poppers with the filling; Spoon the filling into the empty pocket until it’s full. I like to overfill them a little, but that is up to you!

Once you fill all of the jalapeno poppers, place them into the air fryer basket and close it.

Set the air fryer to 370 degrees F, then set the timer on 7 minutes. Once the time is up, open the air fryer and let them cool for a few minutes.

Remove carefully from the air fryer and top with cooked crumbled bacon and green onions if desired.

As I said, it couldn’t be easier to make jalapeno poppers in the air fryer! It’s quick, simple, and they turn out majorly delicious!

Jalapeno Popper Casserole

This post is sponsored by Reames® and SheKnows Media

With the weather getting cooler, I am always craving comfort foods! This Jalapeno Popper Casserole is full of delicious Reames Frozen Egg Noodles, chicken, cheese, and jalapeños, then topped with a crunchy topping. This will be a family favorite for years to come!

Jalapeno Popper Casserole is a quick and easy meal that the whole family will love. Although it has jalapeños, I wouldn’t characterize this meal as too spicy. If you are sensitive to spice, you can always reduce the amount of jalapeños, which shouldn’t affect the overall taste of the casserole much. This recipe is also SUPER convenient because I always use Reames Frozen Egg Noodles. They can be found in the frozen section, so they are easy to make, yet have a very thick homemade hearty texture that is perfect in any casserole or soup. These noodles are made from only three ingredients (flour, water and eggs), are never dried, and contain no preservatives. Using Reames will make your recipes taste and look homemade, even though you don’t have to do any of the work making them! This Homemade Chicken and Noodles recipe makes that clear!

How to make Jalapeno Popper Casserole:

*Scroll down for full printable ingredient list and directions**

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Boil 24 oz package of Reames Frozen Egg Noodles, strain, and set aside.

Make a roux using butter, garlic, jalapeños. Once they come to a boil, add flour, then mix to combine. Add milk and whisk to combine. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer and watch the roux thicken up. Add a bit of the cheese, then mix to melt.

In a large bowl, add Reames Frozen Egg Noodles, the roux, chicken, and shredded cheese. Stir to combine.

In a little bowl mix panko bread crumbs, chopped jalapenos, salt, pepper, and cheese.
Add the casserole mixture to an oven safe baking dish or skillet, then sprinkle panko mixture over the top. Cover with foil loosely. Place into preheated oven and cook for 10 minutes.

Remove foil from casserole and switch oven to broil. Broil for 2-4 minutes, watching closely so the breadcrumbs do not burn. Once they are browning, remove from the oven and serve!

It’s easy to make Jalapeno Popper Casserole! So yummy and the perfect family meal!

Jalapeno Popper Bombs

November 9, 2017 9 Comments This post may contain affiliate links. Read my disclosure policy.

Jalapeno Popper Bombs are filled with spicy jalapenos, cream cheese, pepper jack cheese, and then baked to golden perfection. They’re the perfect appetizer!

Now that we are in the midst of football season, it’s always fun sharing football food with friends. We love supporting my husband’s alma matter, the Georgia Bulldogs, and we’ve made a tradition out of making an appetizer for family and friends to snack on during the game. These Jalapeno Popper Bombs only have 8 ingredients, take about 30 minutes to make, and will have your whole house cheering for more! This post today is sponsored by Pillsbury, however all opinions are my own. Make sure to scroll all the way through the post for exciting GIVEAWAY/CONTEST details!

Y’all have to try these Jalapeno Popper Bombs for your next get together (or for dinner, just saying..), because everyone will LOVE them! I have made them twice now, and whenever I do people are begging me for the recipe. When we were having them last time, it was so funny because my youngest son went straight for these Jalapeno Popper Bombs. We didn’t realize he was eating these ones, and not the regular non-spicy version. All of a sudden he was yelling because it was spicy, but we still didn’t realize why! After he told us his ‘mouth was spicy’, we gave him some milk and had a good laugh because we were surprised he kept eating it! Keep your eyes on the kiddos around these because they do pack a kick of spice! Also, no one ever believes they are only eight ingredients and take 30 minutes to make. Jalapeno Popper bombs are seriously the BOMB appetizer. They’re so simple to make, too.

You definitely need to use Pillsbury Biscuits for this recipe! I like the Homestyle Buttermilk 8 count package, in the flakey original style. Pillsbury biscuits just make the perfect dough base for the Jalapeno Popper Bombs. They also have aPillsbury Bake-Off® Contest going on right now, so be sure to click over and submit your own recipes!

In a bowl, mix your filling together and then cut your biscuits in half; stretching them out a bit. Scoop about a tablespoon of filling into the center of the each biscuit and then pull the dough up from the sides to close them up. Next, pop them into your skillet or baking dish, brush some melted butter and parmesan cheese over the top, and bake! Once they are done, brush some more butter over the top, sprinkle with some more cheese and parsley, and serve…SO EASY!

Jalapeno Popper Cheese Bread

March 13, 2017 16 Comments This post may contain affiliate links. Read my disclosure policy.

Jalapeno Popper Cheese Bread is the perfect blend of spice and creaminess topped with crunchy bacon. This appetizer will not last long at your next party!

As a huge fan of cheese and jalapeños, I decided it was time to put these bad boys together and make one awesome appetizer. Jalapeno Popper Cheese Bread is like the ultimate party dish. By taking a classic appetizer, theJalapeno Popper, deconstructing it, and slathering it onto a load of crispy fresh bread, you have the tastiest most mouthwatering recipe ever! Big shout out to Lava Soap for sponsoring this post, all opinion as always, are my own.

Like I mentioned earlier, I LOVE jalapeños and also cheese (who doesn’t love cheese?!), but I absolutely hate cooking with jalapenos. Why? Because the residue they leave on your hands is soooo nasty! On more than one occasion I have rubbed my eye after touching a jalapeno, and it is NOT pretty. It’s actually horrible and you can expect your eye to burn like a laser is shooting into it for hours. It’s horrible.

However, when cooking with them, you HAVE to touch them…there is no way around it, unless you wear gloves, but I don’t love messing with those either. I have come up with a pretty good routine to avoid Jalapeno residue in my eyes, and it includes immediately washing with Lava Soap.

Right after I’m done with the jalapeños, I wash my hands immediately with Lava Soap. I love Lava Soap because it really gets EVERYTHING off your hands. You don’t have to worry about the nasty residue being left anywhere on your skin, which is reassuring. I like to order my soap off Amazon, but they sell it in stores as well.

You can even use Lava Soap outside of the kitchen; it’s great for getting grime, grease, paint, ink, glue and much more off your hands. We keep them all around our house, but especially in the kitchen and in our mud room where I wash my hands after doing dirty work around the house and garage. I love it!

Back to our delicious Jalapeno Popper Bread…it’s a VERY simple recipe. All you need is some cheese, jalapenos, spices, and if you want, bacon (who doesn’t want bacon?!). I’ve made it several times now, and people rave about it with and without the bacon. If you know there are going to be some vegetarians around, you might want to do half the bread with bacon, and leave half without bacon…up to you!

When should you make this Jalapeno Popper Bread?

Having a girl’s night in?! Whip up Jalapeno Popper bread to make everyone happy!
If you are attending a holiday potluck or summer BBQ, make it ahead of time, but don’t bake it. Stick it in the fridge until 45 minutes before you need to leave. Then pop it in the oven for 30 minutes, cover it in foil and bring it to your party HOT! People will love it!
It’s also great for Birthday Parties or Anniversaries…nothing says I love you like Jalapeno Popper Bread!
I love whipping this bread up for fun activities like watching the BIG GAME or your favorite Sunday night show..Like Game of Thrones. Do ittttt!

Jalapeño Popper Bread

Ingredients

1 loaf of crusty fresh bread, cut in half - like French or Italian from the bakery
8 ounces cream cheese
1/2 cup sour cream
1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese divided
1/2 cup shredded pepper jack cheese
1 garlic clove minced
pinch of salt and pepper
2 jalapeños diced
1 jalapeño chopped into thin rounds
2 green onions chopped and divided
3 strips bacon cooked and roughly chopped

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
In a large bowl, add cream cheese. Microwave for 45 seconds to soften. Add sour cream, garlic, salt, pepper, 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, pepper jack cheese, diced jalapeños, 1 green onion; mix with a fork until completely combined.
Lay your bread halves inside up, and pull out a little bit of the bread from the centers, making a small indentation (you don't need to take a lot). Spread half the cream cheese mixture on one side, then the rest on the other side. Sprinkle remaining mozzarella cheese over the top. Sprinkle bacon over the top. Add jalapeño rounds and remaining green onions.
Cover/tent loosely with foil (careful not to push foil down as we don't want the cheese to stick to the foil). Place into oven for 15 minutes. Remove foil, turn oven to broil. Broil for 2-3 minutes or until cheese is lightly browned and bubbling. Watch VERY closely as it can burn quickly on broil.
Remove from oven and let sit for 5 minutes. Cut into slices and serve.
