Bacon Wrapped Heaven

16 - 18 Jalapeno peppers
1 pkg. cream cheese
1 pkg. regular sliced bacon
Toothpicks

*Put on some latex gloves to protect your hands from the peppers. You'll thank me later after you rub your eyes and don't have any oil on them from the peppers.

*Rinse jalapeno peppers and slice in half length-wise.

*Scoop out seeds and ribs (you can leave some behind if you like your peppers hot.)

*Rinse inside and out if you don't want your peppers to be so hot. I don't rinse the inside of Scott's but I take all the hot stuff out of mine and rinse them.

*Stuff half the pepper with cream cheese. I overfill them a little so when I put the two halves back together they are full.

*Wrap with one slice of bacon and secure with toothpick. I use one toothpick for the hot ones that have not been rinsed, and two toothpicks for the milder peppers that I've rinsed inside and out.

*Cook over charcoal or on gas grill until bacon is done. By this time the pepper will be soft as well, and very delicious!

These make a great appetizer or easy lunch. I usually count the slices of bacon that I'm buying so I know how many peppers to buy! Trust me, I don't like anything hot, and these peppers are DELICIOUS!!!!
