Lentil & Bacon Jalapeno Poppers – One of the Best Recipes Ever
Lentil & Bacon Jalapeno Poppers
Inspired by the amazing people at the Canadian Lentils who know what they’re talking about when it comes to beans!
We love recipes that include beans in our family. Beans are full of fiber, protein and amino acids that feed our bodies well and play a huge role in curbing our appetite. Why? All due to the nutrition our bodies – all cells inside – receive when they get quality nutrition.
This recipe for Jalapeno Poppers is one of my favorite. Just enough of everything. And the poppers, when they are cooked, are not too spicy. Just mildly spicy. I cannot eat very spicy foods, and this recipe has just enough zing of spiciness in it.

– Protect Your Digestive System & Heart – Control Blood Sugar Levels
Our bodies need soluble and insoluble fiber for normal functioning. As the majority of population eat more processed foods than raw and those full of fiber, they often need supplement their daily diet with extra fiber.
Lentils are rich in both soluble and insoluble fiber. The insoluble fiber encourages bowel movement, prevents constipation and helps in colon cancer preventative measures.
Soluble fiber balances blood sugar and reduces the risk for heart disease. Men usually need 30 to 38 grams of fiber each day. Women need at least 20 to 35 grams per day.
One cup of cooked lentils provides 15 grams of dietary fiber. Adding lentils to salads, soups, and even desserts will help you get a healthy dose of fiber every single day.
Rich in protein, lentils are only inferior to soybeans in their protein content.

I have to cook a ton of these poppers for my Halloween block party every year now, and the word got out outside our block… gosh, this year will be a huge one. I have to prep about 150 of these as the minimum.
Enjoy the recipe!

Sherry,
This recipe is a stellar one!
These jalapeno peppers are not hot, depends on the crop.
And yes, it is a great idea to use bell peppers as a substitute!

These look so lovely. I don’t eat spicy food but would make them in normal bell peppers. They would make a great starter or side dish.
This looks like heaven. My mom is coming to visit soon and she loves jalapeño dishes. I will have to see if she wants to try this.
I have seen so many recipes for jalapeño poppers before but never with lentils…what a unique twist! Great idea for a backyard bbq~
I may or may not have been drooling just a bit while reading this. These look absolutely delicious and I wouldn’t mind whipping some up later for a BBQ!
Kita,
These poppers are so EASY! You won’ be disappointed!
I love a great jalepeno popper! I cant eat bacon but everything else is delish!
I love stuffed jalapeño but I haven’t tried preparing it with lentels. I usually use tuna and cheese.
This recipe tasted OK, but was incredibly messy to make. It is hard to wrap slimy bacon around a slippery pepper, and make sure it stays in place. When cooking them, the main problem was keeping them in the broiler long enough to get the bacon to crisp up, without all of the cheese melting and running out. For the second batch, we precooked the bacon about halfway, but this only helped slightly. Overall, I would not recommend this recipe. It was just not worth the mess for the mediocre results.
Look so yummy! I love jalapeno, can’t wait to try this recipe! Looks pretty healthy too.
Wow! This is something that I need to try. I haven’t thought of using bell pepper in this way.
I love jalapeno poppers, and this looks like it would be a healthier way to enjoy them! Lentils give a lot of protein.
