Easy Bacon Wrapped Jalapeños

Ingredients
  

  • 12 jalapeno peppers
  • 1 8 oz. brick cream cheese room temperature
  • 1 cup Colby Jack shredded cheese
  • 1 tsp garlic salt
  • 1 lb. bacon sliced in half length wise

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 400ºF.
  2. With gloves on to protect your hands, wash peppers.
  3. Slice clean peppers in half length-wise.
  4. Pull out the pepper seeds.
  5. Let halved peppers sit while you prepare the filling.
  6. Place room temperature cream cheese in a bowl and whisk until there are no lumps. I use my stand mixer but you can mix by hand or use an electric mixer.
  7. Add the shredded cheese and garlic salt.
  8. Fill each pepper half with cheese mixer.
  9. Wrap 1/2 slice of bacon around the pepper, using the cheese mixer as a glue to hold the ends of the bacon in place.
  10. Line bacon wrapped jalapeños in a 9x13 baking dish and bake in preheated over for about 30 minutes or until bacon is crispy.
