Texas Style Stuffed Jalapenos

I had these a couple of days ago on work "grill day". They tasted so good, I wanted to make them at home. The plan was the do them on the grill today - being Labor Day and all....

Well, it rained all day today, so I decided to do them indoors. They came out great! Everyone loved them. Super simple - I photographed the process. Try them.

Step1

Buy some damn Jalapenos! Remember, however many you buy will be doubled since they will be cut in half. So, you need to cut them in half and scrap the seeds out - that's the hot stuff! I used a spoon to scrap the seeds. Be careful not to touch your eyes!

Step2

Mix together plain cream cheese, a half teaspoon of salt and garlic salt with cheddar cheese. The amount of cream cheese and cheddar cheese will depend on how many peppers you have.

Step3

Cut bacon strips in half. I used a package of Maple Hickory flavored bacon. And I also used turkey bacon on some for the health conscious folks.

Step4

Stuff the cream cheese mixture into the jalapeno halves.

Step5

Wrap the bacon around the jalapeno and secure with a toothpick. I soaked the toothpicks in water so that they wouldn't burn. The toothpicks keep the bacon on board :)

Step6

All wrapped up and ready!

Step7

At this point you would put them on the grill, or in the oven at 450 degrees. I used my George Foreman Grill since I couldn't use the grill outside due to the rain.

Step7.1

Cooking nicely!

Step8

The finished product - yum!
