Cream Cheese and Bacon Jalepeno Poppers

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup cream cheeseNutrition
• 4 medium slices bacon, cut into stripsNutrition
• 8 jalapeno peppersNutrition

Directions

1. 1Cut the chili peppers in half lengthwise; scrape out seeds and membranes.
2. 2Fill each half with cream cheese, but do not mound it. Four ounces should be just about the right amount for 8 average size jalapeno halves. If you have extra large peppers, make sure you have a full 8 ounces of cream cheese on hand.
3. 3Wrap each with 1/2 slice raw bacon, making sure to start with the end on the bottom of the pepper. Stretch the bacon slightly to make it go all the way around each pepper once, then tuck ends underneath.
4. 4Place cream cheese side up on foil-lined baking sheet. These can be assembled and chilled until just before baking and serving.
5. 5Bake at 375° F (190° C) for 20-25 minutes.
6. 6If bacon isn't quite done, broil a few more minutes to brown.
