Ingredients

8 Jalapenos

8 slices Center Cut Bacon

6 ounces Cream Cheese may need up to 8 ounces


Directions

Make a lengthwise split down the jalapeno (I used gloves to handle mine because I invariably touch my eye, etc. and it burrrrns). Clean the seeds and membranes from the inside of the pepper. Method: Hold the pepper between your fingers lengthwise and squeeze slightly. This will cause the pepper to pop open like the old football shaped coin purses your grandma used to use. I used a small spoon handle to clean out the seeds and membranes. Once cleaned, stuff it full of cream cheese. Use the same “football change purse squeeze” technique to open the jalapeno and stuff it. Once stuffed, wrap each jalapeno with bacon and use a toothpick to secure. Cook over a medium hot grill until bacon is nice and crispy.

I make these all the time and my children love them. I have also made about 200 of them for a party all were eaten up and they were asking for more. :)
