CREAM CHEESE STUFFED JALAPENOS WRAPPED IN BACON

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.

PHILADELPHIA CREAM CHEESE-BACON JALAPENO PEPPERS

Steps:

• Cut the stem-end of each jalapeno pepper off and de-seed each pepper. After de-seeding the pepper, rinse out remaining seeds.
• Next, stuff each pepper with enough cream cheese to fill the hollow pepper. After filling the pepper, wrap it with a slice of bacon. While wrapping the pepper, it may be wise to cover the exposed end of the pepper with the bacon to keep the cream cheese from coming out. After the bacon has been wrapped around each pepper, put a toothpick through the bacon and pepper to keep them together.
• Place the peppers on an ungreased cookie sheet and bake at 450 degrees F for about 10 minutes and then rotate to make sure bacon is cooked thoroughly. Serve with Kraft Ranch Dressing.
