Bacon-wrapped Jalepeno Poppers
These are insanely easy to make and delicious! The cheddar cheese will enhance the heat of the jalepeno and the cream cheese will mute the pepper’s heat a bit — both versions are good, it just depends on your preference for hot tastes. Usually these are appetizers, but I did serve these over white rice as a main dish. Enjoy!

INGREDIENTS:
- Jalepeno peppers, each cut lengthwise in half and de-seeded. Take the inner white part out too if you don’t want as much heat.
- Turkey bacon
- Cheddar Cheese
- Neufchatel Cheese or Cream Cheese
DIRECTIONS:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Fill each jalepeno half with either a slice of cheddar or a dollop of Neufchatel cheese
- Wrap a strip of turkey bacon around each pepper half. I used large peppers for this, so a full slice of bacon just covered the pepper.
- Cook 20 to 25 minutes, depending on how crispy you like the bacon.
