Bacon Wrapped Cream Cheese Jalapenos

I LOVE Jalapeno Pepper's! So I like to try new and different ways to cook them. I add them to almost everything and I do it in a way where it adds flavor and not so much heat. My favorite way to cook them is to stuff them. I have had them with shrimp, little sausage's, meat and all types of cheese. When I found this next recipe on Pinterest, I knew I had to try it. I changed a few things, but it was just the way it was cooked I was pressed for time!


Take jalapenos, halve, de-seed and cut all the membrane out of the jalapeno 
 Combine cream cheese and all the spices in a bowl
  Spoon cream cheese mixture into each jalapeno half, until level
Cut bacon strips in half,  why the are still uncooked
 Wrap each in bacon and place on baking sheet.  Bake for 25-30 minutes
If you are grilling, throw these on for 25-30mins temp around 375
Let Cool and Enjoy!
 
Bacon Wrapped Cream Cheese Jalapenos
 
What Y'all Need:
8  ounces cream cheese, softened
1  teaspoon of McCormick Garlic Salt with Parsley
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
12  Jalapenos, halved & seeded(I cut all the white membrane out)
12  bacon strips cut in half, uncooked


What You Do:
Preheat oven to 375F. Take the jalapenos halve,  de-seed and cut all the membrane out of the jalapeno. Combine cream cheese and all the spices in a bowl. Spoon cream cheese mixture into each jalapeno half, until level. Wrap each in bacon and place on baking sheet. Bake for 25-30 minutes. Then boil for 4-6 minutes. Look at bacon and see if its crisp looking. Remove and Let set for 4 minutes and enjoy!

*Cooking Tip: The 8ozs. of cream cheese will do 24 halved Jalapenos. Make sure to only level with the top of Jalapeno. This keeps it from leaking out and making a mess. Now, if you are grilling as I show above temp 375-400 in grill and cook about 25-30mins, they taste so good.
