Bacon-wrapped stuffed jalapenos [View all]

[Marthe48]

I tasted this wonderful concoction for the first time on New Year's Day, 2020. I had gotten a couple cans of whole jalapenos at Dollar Tree because for a long time, they didn't have slices, and I like jalapeno chicken, often.

At the beginning of January, I also had bacon, cream cheese and shredded sharp cheddar. So I made a batch. Sliced each jalapeno in half, left the stem end uncut, mixed the cream cheese and cheddar together, added a dab to each pepper and used a half a strip of bacon on each pepper. And I made another batch today, because I had all the ingredients handy again. This batch was prettier than the first batch

I need to remember to open the kitchen window and turn the vent fan on before I start frying batches, because the aroma really cleans out my airways. Well worth it!
