BACON WRAPPED STUFFED JALAPENO PEPPERS

Steps:

• Mix cream cheese, garlic, sundried tomatoes, cilantro and salt until well blended. You can now set the mixture aside or even freeze for up to a couple of months in a freezer bag.
• You'll want to wear some kitchen gloves for this step! Slice the jalapeños lengthwise, being careful not to slice them in half. Then slice at the top along the width of the pepper just about a quarter inch below the base of the stem until you cut through the core, again being careful not to cut completely through the pepper (This step will probably take some practice). Now you need to decide whether you want to keep the seed webbing for those that like it really hot, or remove them for a lot less heat. I like to do about half and half so that you can please everyone. Anyway, if removing the seeds, gently remove the core using a paring knife by spreading the pepper carefully, you may need to shake some of the remaining seeds out.
• Separate the strips of bacon and cook in the microwave for about 5 minutes on high, just enough to give it a head start. Then pat dry with paper towels. Just to soak up some of the grease. Set it aside to cool.
• Fill either a pastry bag or just a freezer bag (cutting one corner out), and pipe some of the filling into each pepper until full but still able to almost close the pepper.
• Wrap each pepper with a strip of bacon then use two or three toothpicks to secure the pepper closed.
• Place the jalapeños on a medium heat grill and cook until the bacon is crisp. you'll need to turn frequently to heat them evenly. you may even want to use foil to prevent the mess. I find that by cooking the bacon a little first and not over filling that you'll get minimal mess however.
• Let them sit for about 5 to 10 minutes and serve them up! Don't forget which ones have the seeds!

STUFFED JALAPENOS

Steps:

• Brown up the bacon in a skillet until it reaches the desired level of crispness. Set aside and let cool.
• Cut each jalapeno in half. I would suggest using a teaspoon to scrape out the seeds and veins. The idea is not to make this a super spicy recipe, but one that a majority of people will enjoy and where the flavors meld together.
• Use a spoon to fill each jalapeno half with some cream cheese. Do not overfill the pepper.
• Finely crumble the bacon and mix with the shredded cheese.
• Mound the cheese/bacon mixture on each pepper.
• Grill over medium heat until the pepper has softened and the cheese melted. You can also smoke the peppers if you desire.
• Optional: Melt some butter, toss with the panko bread crumbs, and bake at 350 degrees until the panko is golden brown. Top each pepper before grillingwith some panko breadcrumbs for a crispy topping.

BACON WRAPPED STUFFED HABANEROS / JALAPENOS

Steps:

• Pre-Heat oven to 325.
• Start by washing the jalapenos, cutting the stem off, and then cutting them in half lengthwise.
• Next, devein and remove the seeds. ( I leave in for extra heat)
• Now you are ready to stuff the peppers with cream cheese. Using a knife cut about a quarter of an inch slice of cream cheese, short side, and then smooth it into the pepper.
• After this step is completed, you are ready to wrap them in bacon. I usually cut about half of the pack of bacon in half and use the full strips for the larger peppers. Now just start wrapping. If wrapped from one end to the other moderately tight, no toothpicks are needed to hold the bacon on.
• This method should use just about all of the cream cheese and all of the bacon.
• Now put them in the oven and bake for about 25 to 30 minutes. Check them periodically as oven temps vary. They are ready when the bacon is firm, not crisp and the cheese is slightly brown. Enjoy!
