Kim’s Smoked Three Cheese Jalapeño Poppers

8 jalapeños, halved

1 8-oz pkg cream cheese, softened

1 ½ cups shredded cheddar

½ cup Parmesan or Romano cheese

4 green onions, sliced

1 tsp smoked paprika

1 tsp roasted garlic powder (I used Penzey’s)

½ tsp salt

½ tsp pepper

16 slices of Kirkland pre-cooked bacon

Toothpicks soaked in water for 1 hour.

Slice jalapeños in half lengthwise. Remove seeds and ribs.

Mix cream cheese through pepper in a medium bowl.

Fill each jalapeño half with cheese mixture.

Wrap each jalapeño half with two slices of bacon, using toothpicks to secure in place.

Preheat Traeger to 375° for approx 10 to 15 minutes.

Cook poppers 15 to 20 minutes until bacon is crispy and filling is bubbling.

If you don’t have precooked bacon, cook regular bacon about halfway, so that it’s still slightly bendable.
