Instructions
Freezing instructions:
  1. Use a pair of kitchen scissors to cut each strip of bacon in half width-wise to make 24 short pieces.

  2. Prepare the jalapeños by slicing the stems off each of the peppers, then cutting them in half lengthwise. Use a spoon or the side of your knife to remove the seeds and membranes.

  3. Combine the cream cheese, shredded cheese, and pepper in a small bowl.

  4. Use a spoon to fill each pepper half with a small amount of the cream cheese mixture, making sure not to over-fill the peppers.

  5. After stuffing, wrap each pepper with one of the half strips of bacon.

  6. Place the wrapped peppers on a baking sheet in a single layer and put the pan in the freezer.

  7. Once frozen, transfer them to a large resealable freezer bag. Seal, remove the excess air, and freeze.

Cooking instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 450°.

  2. Place the frozen peppers on a baking sheet or on a wire rack on top of a baking sheet and cook for 20-25 minutes.

  3. Or cook in the air fryer: Heat air fryer to 350° for 3 minutes. Place jalapeños in a single layer and cook for 14-16 minutes, shaking once or twice.

  4. Transfer to a paper towel lined plate before serving.
