this was the first thing that had me eating meat again (after going back to being a vegetarian once i stopped nursing my daughter) i was out for a girls night with my friend Courtney and she brought me to her friends apartment. while walking down the hallway, we smelled something heavenly. we were hoping that it was coming from the apartment that we were headed to... and sure enough, it was! since trying these, i have not been able to not make them when we have a get together (which happens at least once a month for one reason or another) and you wouldn't believe how simple these are! I've made these poppers in both a toaster oven and conventional oven and the turn out great in either, though i prefer to do them in the toaster oven (I feel like they take less time to cook that way- but this obviously doesn't work for a large batch)
Bacon Poppers
12 jalapenos
1 package of bacon, cut in half
1 package cream cheese
preheat oven to 350 degrees. cut jalapenos in half and remove seeds and veins -this is where most of the heat is stored in the peppers (wear gloves if you have them... i have gotten a few jalapenos that have burned my fingers for hours after cleaning them).
Once the jalapenos are cleaned, stuff with cream cheese.
Once the cream cheese is sitting in the jalapenos, wrap the strip of bacon around it and place on baking sheet.
bake for 20 to 30 minutes, or until bacon is crispy and jalapenos are soft.
