Take a whole jalapeno, cut it in half long wise. Depending how much heat you can handle, clean out the insides. Leave everything for an explosion in your mouth or take out the seeds & vein for a mild punch. Fill the pepper with cream cheese. Wrap it in bacon and secure with a toothpick. Grill until the bacon is cooked. For added flavor - stick a shrimp in the pepper! Very simple & very good. Saturday January 5, 2008

This a simple, but fun recipe that lends itself well to tailgating due to the fact that you can make these up ahead of time and store them in your ice packed cooler. The ingredient quantities really don't matter. Just use your imagination and run free! I start with fresh Jalapeño peppers from my garden (store bought peppers work just fine as well). Cut the tops off at the stem end and use a potato peeler to core out the seeds and membrane. Fill a baggie with refried beans and chopped onions, cut the corner of the baggie to form a piping bag and pipe the bean mixture into the peppers about half way. Insert a cheddar cheese stick that's cut to the right size and drape a half strip of uncooked bacon over the top and secure with a toothpick. The toothpick keeps the peppers from falling through the cooking rack. I picked up the cooking rack online BTW. Anyhoo, sprinkle with black pepper or your favorite rib rub and cook indirectly in a foil pan until the bacon has crisped and cheese has melted.
