About this Jalapeño Poppers Recipe…
Duck jalapeño poppers are the perfect appetizer to make on the grill or smoker. These jalapeño poppers have just a few ingredients and a couple of them involve a simple twist. First, let’s talk about the duck bacon. Duck bacon is just like regular bacon but better. It’s deeply flavored and when you combine duck fat bacon with a jalapeño, something magical happens. Second let’s talk about the filling: duck fat, cream cheese, and sharp cheddar. Duck fat enhances the flavor of everything it touches - especially vegetables. When duck fat is combined with this mix and then used to cook a jalapeño from the inside out, well that’s pure gold.

7 slices DUCKCHAR Duck Bacon
1 cup cream cheese
1 cup sharp cheddar, shredded
2 tablespoons DUCKCHAR Duck Fat

Shop Duck Bacon
This bacon is legit: “prime duck belly.” We don’t press and form our bacon - no fake stuff over here. Instead, we cure and smoke our prized Moulard Duck Breast. Finally, we slice to produce the richest, highest quality bacon you can imagine. That’s our secret - oops.
In short, DUCKCHAR Duck Bacon combines the rich flavor and crispiness of bacon with the unmistakable taste of the Moulard Duck. Could it get any better? It certainly can. Duck Bacon is also healthier than pork bacon.
