Jun 11th, 2010 by Rusty Beach
Bacon not only makes everything better, but it is godsent. These bacon-wrapped jalapeno sensations are proof that heaven can’t be too far away!
Ingredients
- 1 to 2 packages cream cheese, room temperature
- 2 cloves chopped garlic
- 1/4 cup finely chopped sun-dried tomatoes
- Chopped fresh basil leaves
- Pinch salt
- 10 to 25 jalapeno peppers (larger than average size will make them easier to stuff)
- 1/2 to 1 pound thinly sliced bacon
Directions
Preheat the oven at 425 degrees.
Combine the cream cheese, garlic, sun-dried tomatoes, basil, and salt in a medium-sized bowl. Mix the ingredients until the mixture is soft and manageable.
Slice the jalapenos in half and de-vine/remove the seeds from each pepper.
Fill a pastry bag (or sandwich bag with a corner-cut) with the cream cheese filling. Sqeeze the filling into each jalapeno-half and wrap the pepper with 1 strip of bacon. Place the jalapenos on an ungreased cookie sheet and bake for about 20-30 minutes or until bacon is brown and crisp.
Now…Serve and enjoy!
