Bacon Wrapped Jalapeno Poppers

Wow! I stumbled upon these a while ago and it was love at first sight. What's not to love?! *I used low fat ingredients (aside from the bacon...) and the taste quality was in no way compromised. But if you're going to wrap it in bacon, you may as well use full-fat dairy products, I suppose. It's your call.

Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Serves: 6-10 (appetizers)

Ingredients:

• 12 jalapenos
• 1/2 c cream cheese
• 1/4 c shredded cheddar
• 1/4 c sour cream
• 1 lb peppered bacon

Directions:
1. Blanch the peppers in boiling water for 3-4 minutes. Remove to a cold water bath and let cool 2 minutes. Once cooled, slice the peppers long ways on one side and remove seeds under running water with a butter knife or your finger. I gave up on the butter knife and used my finger- no pepper related injuries were incurred.







2. Combine cream cheese, cheddar cheese and sour cream in a bowl. Pipe into peppers with a pastry bag or zipper bag.

3. Wrap in bacon beginning at the bottom of the pepper and tuck the loose end at the top into the previous wrap. You'll get the hang of it.




4. Grill on high for 8-10 minutes turning gently occasionally. Lots of flames will well up... That's exactly what you want.
