Bacon-Wrapped Stuffed Jalapenos

24 medium jalapeno peppers
1 pound uncooked chorizo or bulk spicy pork sausage
2 cups (8 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese
12 bacon strips, cut in half

Make a lengthwise cut in each jalapeno, about 1/8 in. deep; remove seeds. Combine
the sausage and cheese; stuff into jalapenos. Wrap each with a piece of bacon;
secure with toothpicks. Prepare grill for indirect heat, using a drip pan.
Place jalapenos over pan; grill, covered, over indirect medium heat for 17-20
minutes on each side or until a meat thermometer inserted into filling reads
160°. Grill, covered, over direct heat 1-2 minutes longer or until bacon is
crisp.

Yield: 2 dozen.
