Cassandra Skevis | Fort Lauderdale Jalapeno Poppers

Prep Time: 20 Min. | Cook Time: 20 Min. | Makes 4-6 servings

Gloves are recommended when cutting the peppers. Do not touch jalapeños and then touch your eyes! Rinse peppers. Cut the top off of each one and then slice in half lengthwise. Remove all seeds. The seeds are the spiciest part, so be careful with them. Slice cream cheese blocks into 12 pieces each. Fill each jalapeño half with a slice of cream cheese. Then wrap with a half piece of bacon and secure with a toothpick. Bake at 400 for approximately 30 minutes, or until bacon is crispy. 1 12-Pack of Bacon (Nitrate-free!), cut in halves 12 Jalapeño Peppers 2 Blocks of Cream Cheese Ingredients Preparation

Cassandra’s Tip: Don’t use colored toothpicks because the color will bake into the food.
