Jalapeño Poppers


Still digging out here.  It is up to a whopping zero degrees right now.  But thats ok...Kids are home from school again, fire in fire place and Im doing a bunch of cooking and I love it!  Ok So as I have been doing ALOT of experimenting and cooking the past 4 days, I have got the absolute BEST snack for you to make for any event even, say, oh, maybe a Super Bowl Game that is coming up??  I know its hard for me to find things to eat at parties like that with a bunch of "Snacky type" foods but these are legal for you to eat and they are AMAZING!!!!!  Tuck this recipe away and make more than you will need, because believe me, they will ALL be gone!!



Read to go into the oven 








Jalapeño Poppers

6 Jalapeño Peppers cut in half lengthwise. (Keep the stems on them if possible)
4 oz (1/2 brick) Cream Cheese
1/4 cup Parmesan Cheese
12 Slices of Bacon ( I used Center Cut for a leaner Cut)
2Tablespoons Walden Farms BBQ Sauce

Cut peppers in half lengthwise and take out seeds and membranes.  Put on rack on top of cookie sheet to catch bacon drippings.  Mix cheeses together and stuff each pepper half with the cream cheese mixture.  Now wrap a piece of bacon around each Jalapeño trying to cover as much of the pepper as possible but not stretching the bacon too much.  Place on rack and brush with BBQ sauce.  Bake at 275 degree oven for about an hour then turn up to 300 degrees for another 15 minutes or until bacon is sizzling and done.    These are sooooo good!!!  Carb free but they do have calories, so be careful not to eat them all yourself!  Also make sure you make double what you think you will need, Yes they are That good!!

Enjoy!!
