Jalapenos, Cheese-stuffed Recipe

1

Ingredients

25 medium fresh jalapenos
1 package (8-ounces) cream cheese softened
3 cups (12-ounces) cheddar cheese finely shredded
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
4 strips bacon cooked and crumbled

Preparation

Step 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 peppers in cold water; set aside.
In a small bowl, beat the cream cheese, cheddar cheese and Worcestershire sauce until smooth. Spoon 2 teaspoonfuls of the cheese mixture into each jalapeno half; sprinkle with bacon.
Place on a greased baking sheet. Bake at 400° for 5-10 minutes or until cheese is melted. Serve warm.
Yield: About 4 dozen.

Editor's Note: When cutting hot peppers, disposable glove: are recommended. Avoid touching your face.
