Grilled Bacon Wrapped Jalapeno Poppers

I'm pretty sure the name says it all. Let's just get down to it, these are insanely delicious, but you must prepare yourself for how hot they will be. People may tell you they won't be that hot....they are lying. Perfect food for tailgating, partying, or just something fun to grill, they will have everyone at your party talking...or drinking all your milk.

So enough chitter chatter, here is the recipe for these decadent pepper delights.

Grilled Bacon Wrapped Jalapeno Poppers

12 Fresh Jalapenos

4 oz Cream Cheese 

4 oz Shredded Cheddar Cheese

16 oz Bacon

25 Toothpicks

Start by coring your jalapenos. A paring knife will work perfect. Save the tops to use for later. 

Next, take your cream cheese and roll small pieces into log shapes, the roll those in the shredded cheddar cheese. Stuff them into the peppers.

Pre-cook the bacon about half way through before wrapping the peppers because it takes longer to cook than the rest of the dish. Once the bacon is cooked let it cool. Place the tops back on peppers and secure them in place with the bacon and toothpicks. They should look similar to this...

Season them with salt and pepper, a dash of olive oil, and a little bit of garlic powder. Put your jalapenos on the grill on a medium setting (it really depends on your grill, I suggest using your best judgement!) Once the bacon is cooked to your liking take them off and enjoy the amazingness you have just created!
