Skinnymixer’s Jalapeño Poppers – Crumbed or Bacon Wrapped are Hollywood’s specialty!
Join Hollywood in the kitchen to cook his famous Jalapeño Poppers – 2 ways: Crumbed or Bacon Wrapped!
Last week our free recipe of the week was Pimento Cheese Dip – which coincidentally is best friends with Jalapeño Poppers.
The first way to make the poppers is making a beautiful seasoned crumb to add as a crust on top of your pimento cheese stuffed jalapeño.
The second way is wrapped with streaky bacon – which is never a bad thing!
Which way is the better way? I guess you will need to make them both ways to find out!
What you will need:

To Make Bacon Wrapped Poppers
