Jalapeno Bacon and Bites
Prep Time:15 minutes
Cook Time:15 minutes
Total Time:28 minutes

Ingredients

  • 8 oz tube crescent dough sheet
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese shredded
  • 1/2 cup bacon pieces
  • 2 fresh jalapenos chopped
  • 1 tsp garlic powder

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 375 degrees. Grease a mini muffin tin.
  • Chop the jalapenos into small pieces. If you prefer less heat, remove the seeds.
  • Set aside a small amount of cheddar and bacon for topping. In a medium bowl, mix together the cream cheese, cheddar cheese, bacon pieces, jalapenos, and garlic powder until well combined.
  • Unroll the crescent dough sheet and cut it into 24 small squares (6 rows by 4 rows works well).
  • Place one square into each muffin cavity. Gently press the dough down and up the sides to form a small bowl shape.
  • Spoon the cream cheese mixture into each crescent bowl. Sprinkle a little of the reserved cheese and bacon on top.
  • Bake for 13–15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
  • Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Serve warm.
