Jalapeno Poppers

This is Brian's dad's recipe for Jalapeno Poppers.  Everyone who likes anything spicy will enjoy these.

Jalapeño Poppers

Ingredients:

15 large green jalapeños

1 package cream cheese

Sugar

Thin sliced hickory smoked bacon

Toothpicks

Instructions:

*I would definitely recommend wearing gloves to make these and do not touch your eyes or nose.*

Preheat oven to 325 degrees.  Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray with non-stick spray.

Wash peppers, cut off stems and remove all seeds and veins.  Cut the peppers in half lengthwise. 

(If you want super spicy poppers you can reserve some seeds to add to the cream cheese.)

If the cream cheese is not already at room temperature you can soften it in a bowl in the microwave.  Once softened add about 4 tsp of sugar it and mix together.

Spoon the cream cheese mixture into the peppers.  Wrap a strip of bacon completely around the pepper and secure with a toothpick.

Put the peppers on the prepared baking sheet.

Bake at 325 degrees for 45 minutes to 1 hour or until the bacon is fully cooked and semi-crunchy.

Serves:  30 finger food appetizers
