jalapeno poppers

15-20 jalapenos

8 oz. softened cream cheese

3 cups cheddar cheese

salt and pepper to taste

bacon strips, cut in half

cut jalapenos in half length wise and remove seeds (i would wear plastic gloves to do this...unless you want you finger tips to burn the rest of the day).  mix together cream cheese, cheddar cheese, salt and pepper.  fill jalapenos and wrap with half a strip of bacon.  use toothpicks that have been soaked in water to secure the bacon to the peppers.  grill until bacon is crisp.

this is a really good make ahead recipe for cookouts.  you can store the stuffed peppers in the refrigerator until you are ready to put them on the grill.
