CREAM CHEESE STUFFED JALAPENOS WRAPPED IN BACON
Delicious stuffed jalapeno recipe I got from my sister. Great for parties, especially barbecues. You can cook either in the oven or on the grill, but I prefer the grill. You can also substitute Anaheim peppers for a little less heat.

Steps:
- Wash and remove the seeds of the jalapenos by making a "T" cut in the jalapenos and scooping out the seeds. (A "T" cut is where you cut the pepper horizontal about half way and then in the middle of the slit, you cut a vertical slit forming a "T" cut in the pepper.).
- In a bowl, combine cream cheese, sun dried tomatoes, and garlic powder. Using a teaspoon "stuff" the jalapeno with the cream cheese mixture.
- Wrap jalapeno in bacon and secure with a toothpick. (If you are cooking on the grill remember to soak toothpick in water for 15 minutes before securing pepper with it, to ensure it doesn't catch fire on the grill).
- Cook on the grill or bake at 450° F for 15 minutes or until bacon is cooked through.
- Enjoy!

Tips:
- Choose the right jalapeños: Select firm and plump peppers with a deep green color. Avoid any peppers with blemishes, bruises, or signs of damage.
- Handle the jalapeños with care: Wear gloves when handling the peppers to protect your hands from the capsaicin, the compound that gives jalapeños their heat. If you touch your eyes or other sensitive areas after handling the peppers, it can cause irritation.
- Remove the seeds and ribs: To reduce the heat level of the peppers, you can remove the seeds and ribs. Use a sharp knife to cut the peppers in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds and ribs. Be careful not to cut yourself.
- Stuff the jalapeños: Fill the jalapeño halves with your desired stuffing. Cream cheese, cheese, meat, and vegetables are all popular options. You can also add spices, herbs, and other seasonings to taste.
- Cook the jalapeños: You can cook the jalapeños in the oven, on the grill, or in a smoker. The cooking time will vary depending on the method you choose.
