Super Bowl Quickie: Bacon Wrapped Jalapeno Poppers!

For an impromptu invite to a Super Bowl party, I decided to make bacon wrapped jalapeno poppers. It's one of the easiest appetizers to make, and a huge crowd pleaser! The most difficult task is removing the seeds from the jalapeno and remembering to not rub your eyes. That never ends well! To prevent the post-seed removal sting I have heard everything from soaking hands in milk, to rubbing vigorously with a scrub brush using soap and water. A sure fire method is to use rubber gloves. Once finished, just remove, and throw away. No hidden jalapeno heat under the nails to worry about.  So simple! 

Without further ado, here is the recipe:

Bacon Wrapped Jalapeno Poppers

 

prep time :	15 Minutes
yield :	15 each
baking/cooking time :	30 Minutes

Ingredients

• 15 jalapeños (cut in half, seeded)
• 2 packages cream cheese
• 1 package bacon
• Light Brown Sugar (1/4 of box or so will work)

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°F.

1. Fill jalapeño halves with cream cheese. (I mix a few tablespoons of brown sugar in with the cream cheese before filling the halves.)
2. Wrap two halves back together with bacon, secure with toothpick.
3. Sprinkle with brown sugar.
4. Bake for 30 minutes, then 5 minutes under the broiler for a crispier bacon.

I hope everyone enjoys their Super Bowl Sunday!
