Jalapeno Poppers
Ingredients:
as many fresh jalapenos as you wan, 2-3 inches in size
cream cheese, softened
bacon
Directions:
Slice the jalapeno in half length-wise.
With a spoon, gently scrape out the seeds and white membranes. This process moves pretty quickly.
Now cut the bacon slices into thirds. I usually just go ahead and cut the whole package at once. I like shortcuts.
Now start smearing cream cheese inside each jalapeno half.
Now take a piece (1/3 slice) of bacon and wrap it around the jalapeno. Wrap it snugly, but not too tightly.
Now stick a toothpick through the middle of each one; this will keep the bacon from coming off in the oven. Place them on a pan with a rack (so bacon grease can escape) and bake at 375 degrees for 20-25 minutes.
Happy eating! =D
