Bacon Wrapped Jalapeno Poppers

Ingredients
  

  • 12 - 14 jalapenos
  • 8 oz room temperature cream cheese
  • 1/2 c shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
  • 2 T chopped chives
  • I 12-16oz pack of bacon

Instructions
 

  • Wash the jalapeños and remove the tops and seeds. Cut in half length wise. Wear gloves if you wish to prevent your hands from burning. I took the risk!
  • Place cream cheese, cheddar cheese, and chives into a bowl and mix to combine with the back of a spoon.
  • Stuff each half of the jalapeños with the cheese mixture.
  • Wrap in bacon. I used half pieces of bacon for most. But if the jalapeños are larger, you may need a full piece or slightly less. If there's extra bacon, fry it up and eat it!
  • If using the oven, preheat to 400°F and place poppers evenly on a baking sheet. Bake for 25 minutes. If using a smoker, smoke at 150 for 10 min, then crank up to 400 and finish them off for 20 minutes.
