Jalapeno Poppers 

Ingredients:

7 whole jalapenos

14 slices of bacon 

1 clove garlic 

8 oz package of cream cheese

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1 teaspoon smoked paprika 

Preparation: 

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees 

2.Cut jalapenos in half (long ways) 

3. Gut out the seeds and center membrane (you can leave in some seeds if you like them extra spicy) then set aside

4. In a medium bowl mix together cream cheese, cheddar cheese and garlic 

5. Stuff jalapenos equally with the cream cheese mixture 

6. Wrap each jalapeno with a slice of bacon (you can use a toothpick to hold them together but I never do and they hold up just fine) 

7. Place on a foil lined baking sheet 

8. Bake in the oven for about 25-30 minutes or until bacon is crispy to your liking (I like mine pretty crispy) 

9. Take out of the oven and sprinkle with paprika. Let cool then enjoy.
