Categories     Pepper     Appetizer     Bake

Yield 36 poppers

Number Of Ingredients 7

18 fresh Jalapenos
one 8-oz pkg Cream Cheese
1/2 cup grated Cheddar Cheese
1 Green Onion, sliced
18 slices thin Bacon, cut into halves
bottled Barbecue Sauce
toothpicks

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 275 F. Begin by cutting the jalapenos in half lengthwise. Try to keep their stems intact. They look prettier that way. With a spoon, scrape out the seeds and light-colored membrances. Mix cream cheese, cheddar cheese and onion. Stuff each hollowed jalapeno half with the cheese mixture. Wrap the bacon slices araound each half, covering as much of the surface as you can. Be careful not to stretch the bacon too tightly around the jalapeno, as the bacon will contract as it cooks. Brush the surface of the bacon with your favorite barbecue sauce. Chutney or apricot jelly works well too! Secure the jalapenos with toothpicks and pop them in the oven for 1 hour, or until the bacon is sizzling.
