Grilled Jalapeno Poppers image

These are delicious as appetizers or include them on your beef or chicken kabobs. The smokiness of the bacon and the smokiness of your grill's charcoal is a wonderful combination. The cheese chills out the heat of the jalapeños leaving them just slightly hot. Dip them in Ranch dressing to chill the heat even more. Cream cheese is a perfect substitute for neufchatel cheese.

Tips:

- To easily remove the jalapeño seeds and veins, cut each jalapeño in half lengthwise and use a spoon to scoop out the seeds and veins. - Wear gloves when working with jalapeños to prevent the oils from burning your skin. - If you don't have a grill, you can also make these poppers in the oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. - For a spicier popper, use hotter peppers, such as serrano or habanero peppers. - To make a milder popper, remove the seeds and veins from the jalapeños before stuffing them. - You can also add other ingredients to the filling, such as cooked ground beef, sausage, or shrimp. - Serve the poppers with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch dressing, blue cheese dressing, or sour cream.
