Cheez-It Crusted Bacon Stuffed Jalapeno Poppers- short pin2Hi friends! Happy Wednesday!

I know what you’re thinking – what the whaaa? Wednesday!? Lady, you are a day early. You post on Mondays and Thursdays.

Well, today is special and covered in cheesy goodness. So I’m posting on a different day… to keep things fresh and to keep you on your toes.

You’re welcome. 😉Cheez-It Crusted Bacon Stuffed Jalapeno Poppers-11 Cheez-It Crusted Bacon Stuffed Jalapeno Poppers-4 Cheez-It Crusted Bacon Stuffed Jalapeno Poppers-11-2If you follow college basketball, you know the month of March is all about the hoops.

And food.  Because let’s face it, you can’t partake in game day shenanigans without good eats. And to me the food is just as important as any big game.

So before we get down to deliciousness, I have a couple tips on how to make your game day the ultimate, so your next shindig can be off the hook:

*Plan Ahead.  Don’t wait until the last minute to know exactly what you are making. A hostess with the mostess is locked on the menu, stocked up and ready to go.

*Make a menu that will please everyone.  If you aren’t sure about your guest’s food preferences or allergies be sure to ask in advance. And always have something for everyone. I like to have at least a meat, chicken and vegetarian option, that way all my basis are covered.

*Game day food should be pop-tastic.  Focus of foods that are one to two bites at most. This isn’t the time to be serving an elegant roast. 😉

*Always make the food readily available.  Make sure you have a designated table for all your appetizers and snacks. You don’t want your guests to have to miss any of the game to get their grub on, so make sure the table is close (Preferably no more than a few feet away). You also don’t want to make your guests feel guilty by taking the last piece of anything, so make sure that table is fully stocked with goodies.

*Don’t forget the beverages.  You should have a wide variety of beverages, from soda and water to beer, wine and possibly a house cocktail. Because while you may want to do keg stands, your guests may prefer to be sober. Cheez-It Crusted Bacon Stuffed Jalapeno Poppers-25 Cheez-It Crusted Bacon Stuffed Jalapeno Poppers-39So now that we’ve covered a few tips on how to host a rockin’ party, let’s talk about one of the appetizers you should be serving at your next college basketball soiree.

Cheez-It Crusted Bacon Stuffed Jalapeno Poppers

You guys, these jalapenos are some next level poppers. They are covered in crunchy, spicy, cheesy Cheez-It Hot & Spicy Grooves and loaded to the gills with salty, crispy, pork-tastic bacon and three types of dreamy, creamy cheese.

These poppers are cheese overload in the very best way. Crisp Cheez-It crust; smoky, spicy jalapenos and gooey, oozing, bacon studded cheese.

Love at first bite, my friends.Cheez-It Crusted Bacon Stuffed Jalapeno Poppers-50 Cheez-It Crusted Bacon Stuffed Jalapeno Poppers-53Now that I have you drooling, I want to leave you guys with a quick couple notes before you go off on your marry, jalapeno-poppin’ way.

Tips for the best jalapeno poppers:

  1. I prefer for my jalapeno poppers to be seriously spicy, so I like to leave the ribs and some seeds in my jalapeno halves. If you prefer a milder popper remove all ribs and seeds.
  2. I left the stems on one half of the sliced jalapenos for appearances, this is optional. Feel free to remove it.
  3. I used a food processor to pulse the Cheez-Its into fine crumbs, but a you can also place them in a large Ziploc bag and use a rolling pin.
  4. To make less of a mess when coating your jalapeno poppers, use two hands. One hand for the dry ingredients (flour and Cheez-Its) and one for the wet ingredient (eggs).
  5. The poppers can be stuffed a day in advance, but do not coat them with flour, egg and Cheez-Its. Cover and refrigerate them until ready to use then proceed with coating and baking them.

I promise you guys are going to love them! Until next week friends, Cheers – to the big Cheez.

    Um, WOOOOOWW. I am totally speechless at seeing these! I never knew cheez its could be used for anything else other than binge eating while binge watching netflix (the double binge). These look soo crunchy! I will be honest that I probably couldn’t handles these at all. My mouth would go on fire and I’d have to drink like 5 glasses of milk before I regain consciousness cause girl I seriously can’t handle the heat!! 🙁 But seeing things like this just makes me wish I was normal and could enjoy spiciness like most people!

    I’m not a March Madness kind of gal but I plan to enjoy March Madness with these fantastic fiery Jalapeño peppers. All that cheese, all that heat, all that crunch—AMAZING!! It’s such clever idea to use a Cheez-It coating. I have to behave though…I’m a picker. I would be so tempted to pick and eat all the Cheez-its off these poppers first! 😉 Have a great weekend, Chey!!

You are my hero.

    I can pound down a whole box of cheez-its in one sitting. Yeah, it’s a special talent I possess and I’m pretty proud of it. If I saw a table with a huge platter of these poppers, then I would pound all of them down too! I like the fact that you leave in some of the ribs and seeds to make them spicier #thatsmygirl
    I’ll have to go grab a few boxes of cheez-its and make these over the weekend. Supposed to snow a little and be super cold this Sunday so I’ll be cooking all day (crazy because it’s going to be 70 here tomorrow…dumb weather! ) 🙂

    I don’t follow basketball and I tend to only watch Olympic sports on TV, but anytime someone has a sports party I ALWAYS chow down on all the food. The best appetizer spreads I’ve seen have always been at superbowl parties, etc.! I love that you use cheez its as a crust! I’m not sure if we have those in Canada but I definitely remember eating them in the states and they would make an awesome crust!

    My husband is all about March Madness (and just about every other sport, too), so we are always look for new game snacks! These jalapeno poppers are so creative! I love that you coated them with Cheez-its, because cheese makes everything better, right? Looks so fun to eat, too! Pinned!

    Ha ha. I’m posting on Wednesday this week too. Just keeping things interesting. Lol! These poppers are brilliant. The filling – oh my! And that crunchy Cheez-it coating! I’m swooning. Cheez-it’s are my favorite and this is such a fun and unique way to use them. Dang girl!

      Yay to Wednesday twinning, Liz! Cheez-Its are so addictive on their own, but they make and excellent “breadcrumb” when smashed to smithereens! 😉 Thanks for the comment love, girlfriend! Cheers!

    I don’t follow basketball as it’s not as popular here (Netherlands), but I’m going to have to find an excuse to make these soon! You’re a true genius, everytime you post something it’s a recipe I would have NEVER thought of. Keep up the good work girl!
