Arlene's Urban Homestead

Ingredients:

• 12 Jalapenos, top removed, cored
• 4 oz. Cream Cheese, softened
• 2 oz. Cheddar Cheese, shredded
• 1 tbsp. Slap Ya Mama Seasoning
• 6 slices Bacon, your choice*
• Toothpicks*

Directions:

1. In a bowl, combine the cream cheese, cheddar and Slap Ya Mama seasoning. Place the mixture into a piping bag or a Ziplock bag and cut a small piece of the corner.
2. Fill the jalapenos with the cream cheese mixture. Wrap each jalapeno with half a slice of bacon. Pin it with a toothpick and place on your baking rack. I used a grill basket that I placed skewers into to create a grid.
3. Place the rack into a disposable pan with a small amount of water, about an inch.
4. Place the whole thing into a 300 degree oven for about 25-30 minutes. The bacon should be crisp and the pepper should be soft.
5. I like to serve it with Hidden Valley Ranch for dipping.

• The toothpicks i use are the extra long kind. They stick out a bit more for a small handle.
• The bacon should be a thin cut bacon. Thick cut will take longer to cook.
