When I first saw the Crazy Cooking challenge for the month, I was excited psyched, I mean who doesn’t love a grilled cheese sandwich. But when Galley Kitchen did her month long grilled cheese challenge and her Jalapeno Popper Grilled cheese came along, I knew that was the one for me. I love Jalapeno Popper’s, love them. I mean they are the whole reason we grow jalapeno’s. Ok, well almost the whole reason.
This grilled cheese met my every expectation, super easy, quick to make, as a grilled cheese should be. And so very satisfying, down to the crispy last bite of butter grilled bread. Yum!
Ingredients: 2 slices white bread; butter; 2 slices bacon, cooked; 2 slices Cheddar cheese; 1 ounce cream cheese; 5-6 slices pickled jalapeno, diced (more or less to taste)
Take several jalapeno’s and give them a rough chop, we used about 10, but this was enough for 2 grilled cheeses.
Add them to the softened cream cheese, and mix well.
Then butter 1 side of each slice of bread.
Put your pan on medium high heat, and place one slice of the bread buttered side down.
Add 1 slice of cheese, and the bacon.
Then add the cream cheese mixture on top of one slice of cheese, and spread on evenly.
Place it on top of the rest of the sandwich.
And top with the other slice of bread, buttered side up.
Cook on each side, about 2-3 minutes, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is all melted.
Remove from the pan, and slice immediately and eat.
The sandwich is so delicious with your favorite beer.
The the meaty bacon, gooey cheese, the crunch of bread, the creamy spiciness of the jalapenos. My mouth was in heaven. Exactly like a jalapeno popper, should be.
Slowly savoring each bite! Make this now, you won’t be sorry!

Yum! This is one I definitely want to try out. It was so hard to narrow down a good grilled cheese recipe, wasn’t it? Thanks for posting this one.
My hubby is gonna love this one, he’ll probably add extra jalapenos, the hotter the better for him! Great find!
Jalapenos would be a great kick in spice to a grilled cheese! Thanks for sharing this one!

This looks soooo good–my husband LOVES jalepeno poppers, so this will be a must-try for us! Thanks for sharing! I used jalepenos in mine also (we put ’em in about everything, ha!) – stop by #11 if you can!
Oh yummy! This looks awesome!
I picked a recipe from Galley Kitchen too. Doesn’t she have some AMAZING sandwiches? You picked a great one as well; looks fabulous!
You had me at Jalapeno. Omg, these look SO good!!
Definitely on my to-make list now.
She was a popular one this month 😉
We used to make these in college, SO good! Happy CCC!
love your page!! Will b visiting often!! :}
My Mom’s gonna love this! We stopped at Church’s and had chicken, all she ordered was poppers, then she wanted more! thanks
Oh my – so simple yet so tasty. Why have I never thought about adding jalapenos? Duh! I hope you’ll stop by to see my Muzzi in Caruzzi grilled cheese.

Oh, my. I am in love! So spicy and fabulous!!!
Great minds think alike! I made a Jalapeno Popper Grilled Cheese for the Challenge, too … but it’s a bit different than this one. It used roasted fresh jalapeno peppers, and included chopped green onions in the cream cheese layer. Divine!!! Love your choice! 🙂

Oh WOW! I need to try this! I am sure my husband will love it too.
Great minds think alike! I did a jalapeno popper grilled cheese for mine too (CCC #33)! Next time, I’ll have to make one that I don’t like as much as these popper sammies – I’ve been thinking about them no stop and seeing yummy ones like yours isn’t helping, lol!!
Oh my gosh. I’m trying to think what I could sub for hot peppers because this looks so good. Must find sub. now!
I love the Jalapeno Popper, it looks great!
These look fantastic. I love poppers – will have to try this.
