Ingredients

12 large jalapeno peppers
1 cup Mexican blend shredded cheese
6 thick slices bacon

Directions

CAUTION: Jalapenos can be very hot. Use caution and wear rubber gloves if you have skin sensitivity. Keep hands away from face and eyes. Wash hands thoroughly with warm water and soap when finished handling peppers.

Slice peppers from stem to tip on 1 side. Carefully squeeze ends of pepper (like a change purse) and scoop out seeds and veins with a small spoon. Stuff each pepper with shredded cheese. Cut bacon slices in half. Wrap each pepper with a piece of bacon and secure with a toothpick.

Preheat grill. Grill peppers 3 to 5 minutes on each side or until bacon is cooked, but not crisp.

Remove from grill and serve while hot.

It's a love/hate thing
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

I made these for a summer bbq and am just now getting to review it. Anyhow, I made these and 1. They tasted great but WAY... too spicy. Even my husband and his brother who enjoy hot foods couldn't eat them but tried anyways because they were so hot. Any suggestions on peppers that may be a good substitute but less hot???? I'd love to make these again but can't stand the heat. 2. As previously stated, careful when gutting for two reasons. The fumes can make it tough to breath and also WEAR GLOVES!!!! I failed to do so and literally got 3rd degree burns on my hands. I couldn't finish dinner because I was busy trying to do everything to stop the blistering and burning. It took 3 days before I could use my hands again. Just a tip. BE CAREFUL! But overall, flavor was great and very fun and easy to make.Read more

Good in a skillet!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made these in a covered skillet on low/med heat; they turned out perfectly! They weren't too messy, the bacon and peppers... were cooked fully, and the cheese stayed in them. I thought the taste was great but they were a little too spicy (I'm kind of a whimp), does anyone have suggestions to make jalapenos less spicy? Maybe blanch them first? Thanks!Read more

Love!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Highly recommend mixing into the cheese blend some crumbled queso freso cheese. It seems to be less runny when heated and... holds better in the peppers. Also had some problems inhaling pepper vapor when cleaning out the peppers. Beware. But, nonetheless .... love this recipe!Read more

TURN DOWN THE GRILL HEAT!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I have made these several times and they ALWAYS turn out great! For those having difficulty with the bacon overcooking and... the pepper staying raw and the cheese running out - your grill is too hot! These need a slow cook, don't rush them and they will be a crowd pleaser.Read more

A little Disappointed Considering Reviews
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

A lot of time and effort to have okay results. Wrapped tight with bacon and made sure pepper was closed and pierced with... toothpick. Still most of the cheddar cheese is at the bottom of my grill. Skip the cheese, you don't get much anyway.Read more
