If you love jalapeño poppers you’ll love this Jalapeño Popper Stuffed Pork recipe! This one is so easy to throw together and so tasty! If you can smoke this one a little on a pellet grill, even better! But don’t fret if you don’t have a pellet grill, you can throw this in the oven and it’s still going to turn out great!
I know Tracy makes this one for her family a lot. I’m pretty sure she mentioned that Siege requested it for his birthday dinner last year. It really is a good one! These aren’t the best photos I’ve ever taken and don’t do it much justice, so you’ll just need to take my word for it.
As always I highly suggest using a meat thermometer to make sure you don’t over cook this one and end up with a dry slice of meat. You can get them at Walmart for $20 if you don’t already have one.
Serve this Jalapeño Popper Stuffed Pork with roasted potatoes and veggies, maybe even some Stay Fit Mom Classic Mac & Cheese! Yum!!

Jalapeño Popper Stuffed Pork
Ingredients
- 2.5 – 3 pounds of pork loin (or 2 tenderloins)
- 12 ounces bacon (I used 12 slices of Kirkland bacon)
- 1 package 1/3 less fat cream cheese (8 oz.)
- 2 teaspoons ranch seasoning
- 1 cup reduced fat shredded cheddar cheese (6g fat per serving)
- 1 jalapeño, diced
- salt & pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven or pellet smoker to 450 degrees.
- Butterfly the pork. With the pork on a cutting board, hold a knife blade parallel to the board and carefully make a lengthwise cut about 1/3 of the way from the bottom, stopping about 1 inch from the opposite end, being careful not to cut through. Continue slicing until you have a flat, rectangular piece of pork. Optional: cover the entire cut of meat with plastic wrap and pound to make it all even. (I skipped this step)
- Season both sides with salt and pepper and top with the cooked bacon strips.
- In a small bowl, combine cream cheese and ranch seasoning. Add a layer of the cream cheese mixture on top of the bacon.
- Top with shredded cheese and the jalapeños.
- Tightly roll the pork loin to completely enclose all of the fillings.
- Using cooking twine, tightly secure the roll and place in a casserole dish.
- Cook for 25-30 minutes or until the pork loin reaches an internal temperature of 145 °F. Use your meat thermometer for this one.
- Slice and serve warm.
