Pimento Cheese Stuffed Jalapenos are jalapeno poppers southern-style. They’re stuffed with a delicious and creamy pimento cheese mixture and roasted until soft and gooey. Then they’re topped with crumbled bacon and fresh cilantro.
Pimento Cheese Stuffed Jalapenos are a great spicy treat for game day or any day and they are a cinch to make.
Make Ahead Recipe
The filling, which is made from cream cheese, mayonnaise, diced pimentos, shredded cheddar cheese, and garlic powder, can be made in advance. You can also assemble the jalapenos up to 2 days in advance. Cover well with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to bake.
Easy Homemade Pimento Cheese
These peppers are stuffed with an easy pimento cheese made from cream cheese, mayonnaise, pimentos, shredded sharp cheddar cheese, and garlic powder. As a shortcut, you can use store-bought pimento cheese for this recipe.
Recipe Tips
To assemble Pimento Cheese Stuffed Jalapenos, cut 8 jalapenos in half. When shopping for them, try to pick out the largest ones since they will hold the filling better.
Be sure to wear disposable gloves or wash your hands right after touching the jalapenos. If you rub your eyes after working with jalapenos, it will burn like crazy.
Pimento Cheese Stuffed Jalapenos can be assembled ahead of time. Then they only need 20 minutes in the oven and they are ready.
For best flavor, instead of using pre-shredded cheddar cheese, buy a block of cheddar cheese and use a box grater to shred it.
How To Store
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 4 days. Reheat in a 350 degree oven or air fryer.
