Cheese-Stuffed Jalapenos

"A few years ago, I saw a man in the grocery store buying a big bag full of jalapeno peppers. I asked him what he intended to do with them, and he shared this recipe with me right there in the store!"

Original Recipe Yield 16 servings
 

Ingredients

  • 25 medium fresh jalapeno peppers
  • 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
  • 3 cups finely shredded Cheddar cheese
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 4 bacon strips, cooked and crumbled

Directions

  1. Cut jalapenos in half lengthwise; remove seeds and membranes. In a large saucepan, boil peppers in water for 5-10 minutes (the longer you boil the peppers, the milder they become). Drain and rinse in cold water; set aside.
  2. In a small mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, cheddar cheese and Worcestershire sauce. Spoon 2 teaspoonfuls into each jalapeno half; sprinkle with bacon. Place on a greased baking sheet. Bake at 400 degrees F for 5-10 minutes or until cheese is melted. Serve warm.

Footnotes

  • When cutting or seeding hot peppers, use rubber or plastic gloves to protect your hands. Avoid touching your face.
