Bacon Wrapped Jalapeno Poppers

These guys are one tasty treat. Salty bacon, sweet cream cheese, spicy jalapenos, crunchy breadcrumbs. It's a winning combo.


Easy Version:
Stuff cream cheese in hollowed out jalapenos. Wrap some bacon around it. Bake it. Yum


Fancy, Detailed Version:

Ingredients:
10 Jalapenos, tops chopped off and seeds hollowed out (to reduce heat)
1 8oz block of cream cheese
1/2 cup sharp cheddar cheese
3/4 cup Italian breadcrumbs
1 lb bacon, cut in to 1/2 strips
toothpicks to hold bacon on


Mix together cream cheese, cheddar and any salt and pepper if you want it. Spread mixture into hollow jalapenos, don't over stuff or it will ooze everywhere. 
Dip jalapeno cream cheese side down into a shallow dish of bread crumbs. Wrap 1/2 piece of bacon around jalapeno, covering as much as possible. Stick with a toothpick to make it all hold together. 
Bake at 375 for 15-20 minutes until bacon is cooked thoroughly, maybe even a little crispy. For extra delicious taste: cook on a smoker or a grill.
