Jalapeño Popper Pizza - All the flavors of a cheesy jalapeño popper is so much better in pizza form, with added bacon of course!

Imagine a jalapeño popper in the form of a pizza.

Yes. It’s as epic as it sounds.

And better than a traditional jalapeño popper in my opinion.

All you need is some pizza dough (homemade or store-bought – no judgment with the store-bought route of course!), room temperature cream cheese, pepppers, cheese and bacon. DUH.

You can’t have a jalapeño popper anything without bacon.

You just can’t.

 

Recipe

Yield: 8 servings
Prep: 15 minutes
Cook: 30 minutes
Total: 45 minutes

Ingredients

  • 4 slices bacon, diced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 jalapeño chiles, sliced
  • 1 Thai red chili pepper, sliced
  • 1 shallot, sliced
  • ¼ cup yellow cornmeal
  • 1 13.8-ounce can refrigerated classic pizza crust
  • 1 8-ounce package cream cheese, at room temperature
  • 2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • Instructions

    1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Lightly coat a baking sheet or pizza pan with olive oil.
    2. Heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Add bacon and cook until brown and crispy, about 6-8 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
    3. In a small bowl, combine olive oil, jalapeño, red chili pepper and shallot; set aside.
    4. Working on a surface that has been sprinkled with cornmeal, roll out the pizza into a 12-inch-diameter round. Transfer to prepared baking sheet or pizza pan.
    5. Spread cream cheese evenly over the top, leaving a 1-inch border. Top with bacon, jalapeño mixture and cheese.
    6. Place into oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese has melted.
    7. Serve immediately.
