The topic on everyone's lips around here is "college football"! The excitement in the air is almost tangible. We're planning tailgate parties and buying tickets and making stat predictions with nearly every family member we've seen this summer! I'm excited to share with you one of my favorite recipes to serve and enjoy on game days - spicy bacon jalapeño poppers!
To say we're excited about football season is an understatement, and even though I may not always know exactly what's going on in the game, I'm looking forward to these games just as much as the next fan because of the excellent food we always bring together to enjoy. My family goes straight for the hot, spicy, and over-the-top flavors when we put together our game day snacks, and while they're always delicious, I'm often bothered by frequent heartburn during the game. It certainly makes the game harder to enjoy. The worst offenders for me are chips and salsa, the drinks, and the spicy appetizers. Sadly, I've had to steer clear from my favorite football appetizer, jalapeño poppers. Heartburn has really put a damper on my enjoyment of football in past seasons because I haven't been able to snack on my favorite spicy foods, but I think this year is going to be different!
There is a new product coming to a store near you: Omeprazole Orally Disintegrating Tablets! It works like the Omeprazole currently available, but this one is a dissolving tablet. It provides lasting heartburn relief, but it is the only frequent heartburn medication in the form of an easy-to-take orally disintegrating tablet. This means I can take it with me on the go! Whether we're at a friend's house, on the road, or even at the game, I don't need a glass of water to take it. Omeprazole ODT treats the same symptoms as Prilosec OTC, but it’s a bit easier to take since it melts in my mouth. I'm most impressed with its long-lasting relief - up to 24 hours! One dose is taken every 24 hours for 14 days, and it comes in a pleasant strawberry flavor. Win!
You should not take Omeprazole ODT for longer than 14 days or more often than every four months unless directed by your doctor. Omeprazole ODT is for those who suffer from frequent heartburn, two or more days per week. This tablet is not intended for immediate relief and may take 1-4 days to feel the full effect.
I'll be enjoying plenty of my favorite jalapeño poppers this football season! To begin, bake a dozen wonton wrappers in the oven at 350 degrees for 8 minutes or until lightly browned.
Mix up the filling, which contains cream cheese, green onions, diced jalapeño peppers, pepper jack cheese, Parmesan cheese, and green onions.
The same filling can go in the wonton wrappers or the jalapeno peppers themselves! Be sure to scrape out the seeds if you want a milder version.
Top with cooked and sliced bacon and bake at 350 degrees for another 8-10 minutes.
Top with cheddar cheese and some crumbled feta cheese. DELICIOUS!
Serve with sour cream to dip for just the right amount of cool creaminess to balance the spice!
These jalapeno poppers are quite spicy and so flavorful! The cream cheese and feta really balance out the peppers, while the bacon adds some crunch. These are sure to be a hit at your next tailgating party! Learn more about Omeprazole ODT HERE, and find out where you can purchase Omeprazole ODT HERE.

Tamra Phelps says
These look so good. I could eat them all. But my stomach can't take the heat these days, lol, so I'd have to use a milder pepper.

These look so good! I've never tried to make any type of jalapeno poppers at home, but I have ordered various version of them at restaurants over the years and love them! I'd love to try this! I'm sure it would be way better than I could get at any store.
