My Award Winning Bacon Wrapped Stuffed Jalapenos

Ingredients:

Jalapenos

Cream Cheese

Bacon

Toothpicks

Directions:

Pre-heat the oven to 375 degrees.

Cut the stems off of the jalapenos, slice them once long ways to leaving 2 pieces in the shape of little boats. Carefully remove the seeds but keep them to add back in later to taste.

Spoon cream cheese into the jalapenos, scrape off any excess. I like to now add some of the seeds back in as they stick well to the cream cheese and you can better control the spiciness this way.

Wrap the stuffed jalapenos in bacon. I usually cut the uncooked bacon in half. Stick a toothpick through the bacon and pepper and place on a baking sheet.

Cook for 20 minutes or until bacon is fully cooked.

Also:

I like to trying to make a sweet sauce to go with these as they can be quite spicy and hot. I’ve used a bourbon and lemon glaze but I can never get the taste to stick.
