""I had a great time dressing up a childhood classic of boxed mac and turning it into vegan jalapeno mac&cheese bites. @annieshomegrown (#ad) and @thefeedfeed challenged me to create a recipe and if you know one thing about me, it should be that I LOVE jalapenos and I can't think of a better pairing than with Annie's Organic Vegan Mac. Not only is the mac vegan, but it's also certified organic and gluten-free. https://ff.recipes/mac-cheese-jalapeno-poppers Annie's Organic can even be found at your local co-op! Mine is @ypsifoodcoop where Natural M&C is 10/$10 from 8/19 - 9/1; find yours here https://bit.ly/2BQ8Flv If you're like me, you can make these a whole meal, but they are also a great side dish! #moreyum #annieshomegrown #feedfeed""

A Note from Feedfeed

Cheesy, macaroni filled jalapeño poppers are a great for snacking. Topped with crushed jalapeño chips and wrapped in vegan bacon these poppers will not disappoint! 

You can find Natural M&C is 10/$10 from 8/19 - 9/1 at a National Grocers Coop near you; find one here.

ingredients

  • 1 box Annie's Vegan Mac and Cheese
  • 1 (8 ounce) container vegan cream cheese, room temperature
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 package vegan bacon
  • 6 large jalapeños, halved from the stem down
  • 1 cup shredded vegan cheddar
  • 1/2 cup jalapeño flavored kettle cooked chips, crushed

Method

  • Step 1

    Preheat oven to 400°F

  • Step 2

    Cook Annie’s Organic Vegan Mac according to package instructions.

    Add salt, pepper, garlic powder. Remove from heat.

  • Step 5

    If wrapping poppers in bacon, do not cook the bacon. If adding bacon pieces to the poppers cook the bacon as directed on the package. Once fully cooked, dice into small pieces, and stir into Mac.

    Cut jalapeños in half starting at the stem. Remove seeds and discard. Don’t forget to wash your hands thoroughly after touching seeds!

  • Step 7

    Fill jalapeños with Mac and sprinkle shredded cheese on top.

  • Step 8

    Wrap in bacon (if bacon is not already added to the Mac). Place in a baking sheet seam down.

  • Step 9

    Bake for 15-18 minutes.

  • Step 10

    Remove from the oven, and top with crushed chips on top for an added crunch!
