My son also makes these and they're delicious but he uses cream cheese to stuff, de-veins and seeds and wraps with whole slices of bacon - YUM!

Oops, I forgot to add a tip for those of us who like the flavor of jalapenos, but prefer not to deal with the intense "heat" of them: I've found that when eating these, the halves without the stem tend to be milder. :)

My wonderful mom-in-law makes a recipe similar to this. She doesn't use breadcrumbs, and instead of bacon bits, she wraps the jalapeno in turkey bacon. That helps to make it even lower in fat. (She cooks hers in the oven though) :)

Any way you make these, though, they're bound to be a hit! I get cravings for these almost every Saturday! :)
