A few years ago, I saw a man in the grocery store buying a big bag of jalapeno peppers. I asked him what he intended to do with them, and right there in the store he gave me this fabulous recipe for stuffed jalapenos! —Janice Montiverdi, Sugar Land, Texas
Ingredients
-
24 medium fresh jalapeno peppers
-
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
-
3 cups finely shredded cheddar cheese
-
1-1/2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
-
4 bacon strips, cooked and crumbled
Directions
-
1.
Preheat oven to 400°. 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.
-
2.
In a small bowl, beat the cream cheese, cheddar cheese and Worcestershire sauce until smooth. Spoon 2 teaspoons mixture into each jalapeno; sprinkle with bacon. Arrange on greased baking sheets. Bake until filling is warmed, 3-5 minutes.
