Jalepenos are wonderful things. They are spicy and tasty and, when stuffed with cream cheese, wrapped in bacon, and grilled, they are truly decadent! They also are easy to make.
These are super simple to make. The recipe below calls for cutting a slice out of each jalepeno to stuff them, but you can also cut them in half and then either wrap each half or put the halves back together. These can also be made under the broiler in your oven if you don’t want to grill them.
