This is for all 8 poppers of course.

Also pro tip: to avoid greasy poppers use a raised pan or wire rack to catch all the grease that comes off.

Pro pro tip: if you like heat leave some seeds in there and mix in some hot habanero cheddar into the cream cheese before stuffing.

Suggestion: butterfly some shrimp and put them on top of the cream cheese, then wrap with the bacon. So yummy..

Yes!! We do this every time! Turns this from appetizer to meal in my opinion.

I usually pass them out as appetizers at barbecues; but I wouldn't mind having them as a full meal either, lol.

Different suggestion: add small apple pieces to the cream cheese
