Jalapeno Fire Bites

12 Jalapenos cut in half and cleaned of seeds
12 slices of bacon, cut in half
8 oz cream cheese (you wont use all of this)
24 toothpicks

Wash and clean peppers well. You may want to use rubber gloves if you can't stand the heat.

Fill each Jalapeno half with a generous amount of cream cheese.

Wrap with one half slice of bacon and secure with a wooden tooth pick.

Bake at 350 for 20 - 30 minutes, until bacon is browned.

Have beer on hand to wash them down and dont forget, before making a "pit stop" remember your hands have been touching hot peppers!!!!! USE CAUTION!

Bacon-Wrapped Jalapeno Thingies

Bacon-Wrapped Jalapeno Thingies
Courtesy of Pioneer Woman (I love her recipes as much as I love Ina's!)


Fresh Jalapenos, 2-3 inches in size
Cream Cheese, softened
Thin (regular) bacon, sliced into thirds


Cut jalapenos in half, length-wise. With a spoon, remove the seeds and white membrane (the source of the heat; leave a little if you like things HOT). Smear softened cream cheese into each jalapeno half. Wrap jalapeno with bacon piece (1/3 slice). Secure by sticking toothpick through the middle. (At this point, you can freeze them, uncooked, in a Ziploc bag for later use.)

Bake on a pan with a rack in a 375-degree oven for 20-25 minutes. You don’t want the bacon to shrink so much it starts to squeeze the jalapeno. If, after 20 minutes, the bacon doesn’t look brown enough, just turn on the broiler for a couple of minutes to finish it off. These are best when the jalapeno still has a bit of a bite to it.

Serve immediately, or they’re also great at room temperature. (or on a burger)
