Kraft Kitchens Tips:.
Variation: These delicious poppers can be baked in the oven instead of cooking them on the grill. Heat oven to 400ºF. Stuff peppers as directed. Secure each popper with wooden toothpick. Place, cut sides up, on foil-covered baking sheet, sprayed with cooking spray. Bake 20 minute or until bacon is crisp and peppers are heated through.
Special Extra: Prepare using Jalapeno VELVEETA®.
