These creamy and zippy stuffed jalapenos may be the most popular treats I make, asserts Lisa Byington of Port Crane, New York. My husband is always hinting to me that I should prepare a batch.
Ingredients:
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded monterey jack cheese
6 bacon strips, cooked and crumbled
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon chili powder
1 pound fresh jalapenos, halved lengthwise and seeded
1/2 cup dry bread crumbs
sour cream, onion dip or ranch salad dressing
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine the cheeses, bacon and seasonings; mix well. Spoon about 2 tablespoonfuls into each pepper half. Roll in bread crumbs.
2. Place in a greased 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pan. Bake, uncovered, at 325° for 15 minutes for spicy flavor, 25 minutes for medium and 35 minutes for mild. Serve with sour cream, dip or dressing. Yield: about 2 dozen.
