Texas Style Stuffed Jalapenos Food

TEXAS-STYLE STUFFED JALAPENOS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Slice the jalapenos in half lengthwise. Carefully scoop out the ribs and seeds (be sure to wear gloves while handling hot peppers). Set the jalapenos aside on a baking sheet with sides, cut sides up. In a large bowl, combine the cream cheese, shredded Cheddar, garlic powder, and salt until well mixed. Using a small spoon, stuff a generous amount of the cheese mixture into the jalapeno halves. You want them well stuffed but not overflowing too much or the cheese will run out when it melts. Wrap a half bacon slice around each jalapeno and secure it with a toothpick or place it on top to cover the cheese. Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake at 450 degrees F for 15-20 minutes or until the bacon is crisp and brown and the cheese is melted. Remove the jalapenos from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
