Jalapeno Popper Appetizers

 

Seems like everyone loves jalapeno peppers!  Our jalapeno poppers are always a hit when we take them to a party.  The beauty of our version is that they are so fast and easy to make. 

Makes 12 jalapeno poppers

6 medium jalapeno peppers
1 package cream cheese
bacon

Split the jalapeno peppers lengthwise, removing seeds and membrane.

Fill each half with cream cheese.

Wrap with bacon (we use 1/2 slice of bacon for each popper)

Place on foil wrapped baking sheet in preheated 400 degree oven.

Bake until bacon is crisp about 15 to 20 minutes . . . depends on your oven

If you take them to a party and they cool too much by the time you get there, heat in the microwave around 1-2 minutes.
