Easy Jalapeño Poppers
"These Easy Jalapeño Poppers are a sure fire way to bring some heat to the dinner table. The spicy, crunchy peppers are stuffed with an incredibly creamy filling seasoned with garlic and paprika and topped with bubbly, gooey melted cheese and they're ready in just 20 minutes. Hummus is an atypical popper ingredient, but I've found it really elevates the appetizer for an even smoother filling texture with a more complex taste. You can choose to make this a vegetarian appetizer or add meat. I recommend adding bacon and the bacon grease into the stuffing mixture, but these will still taste amazing without."
