Stuff each 1/2 of a jalapeno with cream cheese and wrap with a 1/2 piece of bacon. Secure with toothpick. Bake at 350 until bacon is at desired crispness(I like mine just slightly crisp, about 20-25 min). Warning! These are addictive! I've never been a big fan of bacon, but I love these! The jalapenos are not that spicy after they are baked, but have a wonderful flavor. Number of Servings: 10 Carbs per serving - include all nutritional information if known: no counts provided Effort (Easy, Average, Difficult): Easy Source: Mary Ann

This is an excellent recipe! We loved it and will make it again and again. FYI, you should wear gloves when seeding and handling the jalapenos! Trust me, you will love it! imabailey Junior LCF Member Registered: February 2004 Location: Oceanside, CA Posts: 1 Review Date: Tue February 10, 2004 Would you recommend the Recipe?

I was very impressed by how easy they were to make and I have made them twice this week! ozone Junior LCF Member Registered: February 2004 Posts: 20 Review Date: Thu February 12, 2004 Would you recommend the Recipe? Yes | Rating: 10    Pros: Great - Easy Cons: Awsom~ what an unusual combo of flavors! decodiva27 Senior LCF Member Registered: February 2004 Location: Scranton, PA Posts: 741 Review Date: Mon February 16, 2004 Would you recommend the Recipe? Yes | Rating: 9    Pros: Easy to make & yummy Cons: I cooked mine 40 minutes and the bacon was still chewy and uncooked-looking. Better make sure to only use the center cut bacon. These were a hit at teh party, just make sure to use the leanest bacon you can find. Next time I am going to try to precook the bacon a minute or 2 in the microwave before wrapping the peppers. I didn't use gloves and all was well. Dr. Ray Junior LCF Member Registered: February 2004 Location: South Jersey Posts: 2 Review Date: Mon February 23, 2004 Would you recommend the Recipe? Yes | Rating: 0    Pros: Cons: Men taking water pills need to be wary of the jalepeno peppers trust me, habanero oil is WAY WAY worse!!!! kristins Junior LCF Member Registered: February 2004 Location: Oklahoma Posts: 7 Review Date: Wed March 3, 2004 Would you recommend the Recipe? Yes | Rating: 10    Pros: very tasty Cons: preparing the peppers takes a little time but not bad These are soooo good. I would eat them even if I weren't a low carber! You can very the hottness by how much of the white pulp you leave in. If you remove all of the white and seeds they aren't hot at all. (At least to me) Thanks for this recipe, it is a new favorite!!! altabler Junior LCF Member Registered: March 2004 Location: Mississippi Posts: 1 Review Date: Tue March 16, 2004 Would you recommend the Recipe? Yes | Rating: 10    Pros: Cons: I didn't have cream cheese so I substituted shredded mozzerella and a little mild Rotel. They turned out WONDERFUL! Shine Junior LCF Member Registered: March 2004 Location: Michigan Posts: 1 Review Date: Sat March 20, 2004 Would you recommend the Recipe? Yes | Rating: 10    Pros: Taste Great! Cons: These are awesome. I doubled the recipe and they were gone in minutes. I added some shredded cheddar cheese to the cream cheese and also half cooked the bacon before wrapping the peppers. I will be making these again and again. KristinsMom Junior LCF Member Registered: November 2003 Location: Lexington, Kentucky Posts: 1 Review Date: Tue March 30, 2004 Would you recommend the Recipe? Yes | Rating: 9    Pros: Delicious & Fairly Easy Cons: Awesome flavor. Precooking the bacon just a little will help reduce the fat...especially if you like your bacon crisp. No matter how many you make, they are gone in minutes. Thanks for the recipe...I needed something new SpiritualLynx Junior LCF Member Registered: March 2004 Location: Las Vegas Posts: 2 Review Date: Tue March 30, 2004 Would you recommend the Recipe? Yes | Rating: 9    Pros: YUMMY! Cons: time consuming These are so good! I can't wait to make them again. My husband said he could eat a hundred of them. I did think they took a long time to prepare though, getting the seeds and white stuff out. Sparklegrrl Junior LCF Member Registered: July 2002 Location: Texas Posts: 6 Review Date: Sat April 3, 2004 Would you recommend the Recipe? Yes | Rating: 0    Pros: Cons: Does anyone know the carb count on these? kristins Junior LCF Member Registered: February 2004 Location: Oklahoma Posts: 7 Review Date: Sun April 4, 2004 Would you recommend the Recipe? No | Rating: 0    Pros: Cons: On fitday.com I figured that 10 jals with 20 tblsp cream cheese and 10 slices of bacon have about 12 net carbs. So about .5-.6 carbs for each 1/2 jal appetizer. That is my best guess. DanaReale Junior LCF Member Registered: April 2004 Posts: 2 Review Date: Tue April 6, 2004 Would you recommend the Recipe? Yes | Rating: 10    Pros: Great tasting, easy to make! Cons: They don't stay around long enough These were wonderful! I was skeptical since they only have 3 ingredients and looked so simple to make, but the flavors just go beautifully together. We have made these twice so far, and my husband ran to the grocery store at lunch just to get more peppers for tonight. Review Date: Wed April 7, 2004 Would you recommend the Recipe? Yes | Rating: 10    Pros: very easy to make Cons: a little time consuming I made them for my co-workers, I made them very hot, and we all loved them. They are addicting. Review Date: Thu April 22, 2004 Would you recommend the Recipe? Yes | Rating: 10    Pros: great tasting little snack! Cons: none What a great recipe! I especially like them cold! For some reason I like them after I have made them and put them in the fridge...just me though! Totally recommend! bslim Junior LCF Member Registered: April 2004 Location: Oklahoma Posts: 9 Review Date: Sat April 24, 2004 Would you recommend the Recipe? No | Rating: 2    Pros: none Cons: too hot! I tried these tonight & found them way too hot. It may be that I didn't get all the white out of them, but I did try. The first one I ate I thought was ok, but as I started to eat the 2nd one I realized I was on fire! My cream cheese filling came back out & was practically gone when I took them out of the oven. The bacon never did turn crisp, even though it was ok the way it was. Perhaps I could eat them with anaheim peppers instead... Tippy Toes Very Gabby LCF Member!!!

But, the hubby begs to differ and he ate the whole recipe! cncs6126 Junior LCF Member Registered: April 2004 Location: Charlotte, NC Posts: 5 Review Date: Sun May 9, 2004 Would you recommend the Recipe? Yes | Rating: 8    Pros: Easy to make Cons: Burning eyes This was very quick and easy to make. I wish I would have worn gloves when I made them though. I used center cut bacon and cooked them a little longer. My husband and I both loved them! spacyt Junior LCF Member Registered: March 2004 Location: PENSACOLA.

Yes | Rating: 10    Pros: absolutely yummy Cons: can't seem to make enough these are absolutely delicious! my husband and I ate the whole batch the first time I made them. They are addicting. julieloubert Guest Registered: June 2004 Location: Flint, MI Posts: 7 Review Date: Sun June 27, 2004 Would you recommend the Recipe? Yes | Rating: 10    Pros: Cons: For years I have eaten jalepenos stuffed with cream cheese... I never thought to cook them or to wrap them with bacon... how wonderful! I pre-cooked my bacon for a minute in the microwave. I was able to absorb a lot of the fat into paper towels with this method. The peppers were still a little hot, but not as hot as when I eat them raw. MaryJean Senior LCF Member Registered: June 2004 Location: Georgia Posts: 938 Review Date: Mon June 28, 2004 Would you recommend the Recipe? Yes | Rating: 9    Pros: doesn't seem like "diet" food Cons: cooking time is short, needed 40 minutes We loved these and served them at a party. We want to try the recipe again with a jack cheese for a stronger taste. MaryJean Senior LCF Member Registered: June 2004 Location: Georgia Posts: 938 Review Date: Thu July 1, 2004 Would you recommend the Recipe? No | Rating: 0    Pros: they are delicious Cons: the cooking time was closer to 40 minutes to get the bacon done right for us This were great. We served them at a dinner party and there wasn't one left. We plan to try another batch but use jack cheese for a stronger taste. We alternated the tray with jalepeno halves filled with peanut butter and it was a very nice presentation and combination of flavors. jdennysgirl Senior LCF Member Registered: January 2002 Location: Indiana Posts: 263 Review Date: Thu July 1, 2004 Would you recommend the Recipe? Yes | Rating: 0    Pros: Cons: I second the wearing gloves suggestion! I prepared them last night to take to a poker game this morning and my hands are still burning! I don't know if the peppers are just going to be really hot, or if my skin is too sensitive but they started stinging last night and they still are. It sounds like they will be worth the pain though! LOL! I am baking them now. Ought to go good with a couple of Miller Lites and a Royal Flush! SCOTTSDALEJULIE MAJOR LCF POSTER!

Yes | Rating: 10    Pros: Easy Cons: none I made these but instead of putting the bacon around them, I used Hormeal real crumbled bacon, and just cooked them until the cheese was hot and jalies a little done.

Next time I will try pepperjack or cheddar instead of cream cheese, but they tasted wonderful. I made enough to have leftovers for tomorrow.
