bacon-wrapped jalapeno thingies...

i made these appetizers for a family dinner, and the were scrumptious.  here's the recipe if this looks like something you'd like:
jalapenos
cream cheese
bacon

cut jalapenos in half lengthwise.  with a spoon, gently scrape out the seeds and white membranes.  if you want them spicy, go ahead and leave a little membrane and/or a few seeds inside; otherwise, clean them out really well!  cut bacon slices into thirds.  spoon the cream cheese inside each jalapeno half.  wrap a slice of bacon around the jalapeno.   slide a toothpick through the middle to secure the bacon.  place all the jalapenos on a pan with a rack (i used my roasting pan and lined it with tinfoil).  bake at 375 degrees for 20-25 minutes or until desired bacon crispiness is achieved.

These are one of our favorite BBQ recipes. We eat these with teriyaki burgers anytime we BBQ. Only we put shrimp and lately a pineapple BBQ sauce. Yum!
