Bacon Wrapped Jalapenos

These are a perfect snack while watching football! So easy, too! Stuffed with sharp cheddar cheese and cream cheese and wrapped in bacon and baked. You won't stop eating them!
When working with jalapenos, it helps if you wear disposable gloves. If you don't have gloves, coat your hands with a little cooking oil before working with them. And make sure and wash your hands with warm soapy water when you're finished. And try not to touch your face for a while!
This is all you need to make these wonderful tasty treats! Only 4 ingredients. That's it!
Blend cheddar cheese, and cream cheese together in a medium bowl. It should look something like this.
Wash and slice your peppers in half, lengthwise. Spoon out the seeds and the white membrane. The seeds are what makes jalapenos hot, so if you want them spicy, leave a couple seeds in. Or if you like them mild, remove all the seeds. Or mix it up a bit!
Now they are ready to be stuffed with the cheese mixture.
Next wrap with bacon (I sliced 6 pieces in half) and wrapped them around the peppers. Place on a foil lined baking sheet. Pop them in an oven that's been preheated to 400 degrees. And bake for about 20-25 minutes, until cheese is melted and bacon is crisp.
Everything tastes better with bacon!!! YUM!!!
