Bacon Wrapped Jalapenos Recipe
Ingredients
- 12 Med. jalapenos
- 1/2 pkg. softened cream cheese
- 6 slices of bacon cut in half
Directions
- Start with a jalapeno. Hello, jalapeno! Try to find ones that are 2 to 3 inches long; not too big.
- Slice the jalapeno in half length-wise.
- Now itâs time to seed them. With a spoon, gently scrape out the seeds and white membranes. This process moves pretty quickly.
- If youâre impervious to the spiciness, you can leave a little membrane and/or a couple of seeds inside. If you prefer things a little on the mild side, go ahead and clean âem out reeeeel gooooood.
- Now cut the bacon slices in half. I usually just go ahead and cut the whole package at once. I like shortcuts.
- Now unwrap the softened cream cheese and your assembly line is all set!
- No need to be particularly neat about itâ¦
- Just schmear it in there generously.
- Just keep going until you have the quantity you want. Thatâs the great thing about this recipe: you can make as few as two or as many as 49,382! Thereâs no huge commitment.
- Now take a piece (1/2 slice) of bacon and wrap it around the jalapeno.
- Wrap it snugly, but not too tightly.
- Keep going until youâre finished.
- Now stick a toothpick through the middle of each one; this will keep the bacon from coming off in the oven. Place them on a pan with a rack (so bacon grease can escape) and bake at 375 degrees for 20-25 minutes.
