100% would make again

A few years ago, I saw a man in the grocery store buying a big bag full of jalapeno peppers. I asked him what he intended to do with them, and he shared this recipe with me right there in the store!

  • 16 Servings
  • Prep/Total Time: 25 min.

Ingredients

  • 25 medium fresh jalapeno peppers
  • 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
  • 3 cups (12 ounces) finely shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 4 bacon strips, cooked and crumbled

Directions

  • Cut jalapenos in half lengthwise; remove seeds and membranes. In a large saucepan, boil peppers in water for 5-10 minutes (the longer you boil the peppers, the milder they become). Drain and rinse in cold water; set aside.
  • In a small bowl, beat the cream cheese, cheddar cheese and Worcestershire sauce until smooth. Spoon 2 teaspoonfuls into each jalapeno half; sprinkle with bacon.
  • Place on a greased baking sheet. Bake at 400° for 5-10 minutes or until cheese is melted. Serve warm. Yield: About 4 dozen.

I have made this twice and both times everyone has asked for the recipe. I wrap each pepper with a half piece of uncooked bacon. Cook time is a little longer about 25-30 mins. Just cook until bacon is done. The bacon grease its into the cheese mixture..so good! Also I don't boil the peppers since I'm cooking them longer.

USE LIGHT CREAM CHEESE. ADD SOME PARMESIAN CHEESE. NO BACON NECESSARY.
