Bacon Wrapped Jalapeño Popper’s

Starting the New year off right with a POP of a recipe.

Jalapeño Popper’s!

Not only are they Jalapeño Popper’s but they are bacon wrapped and a huge hit!

Ingredients:

Jalapeños approx. 12
Cream cheese (you can use block or tub cream cheese..both work just fine for me.)
Package of Bacon (Cut in Half!)–You will not use all the bacon!
toothpicks

Tip/Warning: Your skin might not tolerate Jalapeños. Avoid touching your eyes, nose…etc when making these. I alway’s wear disposable gloves just to be safe.

Directions:

1. Pre-heat oven to 350º

2. Remove the stems. I do this just by giving them a little twist.

3. Cut in Half Length wise.

4. Remove the Seeds and the veins. I do this using a melon baller. Taking care that all seeds have been removed.

5. Fill with Cream Cheese. I use my Icing Knife to accomplish this. Makes it go much faster.

6. Wrap each pepper with a half strip of the bacon. Start at one side on a slight angle and wrap around the entire pepper. Securing with a toothpick.

Continue until you have all pepper’s wrapped.

7. Bake for 25 minutes in a 350º oven. Depending on how crispy you like your bacon you can go longer. However, I wouldn’t bake longer than 35 minutes.
