MICHAEL KING / MONELL'S DINING & CATERING
GRILLED STUFFED BACON WRAPPED JALAPENOS
6 medium size Jalapeno, sliced length wise and seeds removed
1/2 lb cream cheese, soft
1 Tbs dry Italian dressing
4 slices of bacon cut in 3rds - 12 piece
12 tooth picks
Slice Jalapeno in half, length wise from top to bottom. With a spoon or fork, remove seeds. Be very careful not to touch your eyes or mouth while doing this. The more seeds left in the hotter it is.
Mix dry Italian dressing into soften cream cheese. Stuff the insides of the Jalapeno. Wrap in bacon and seal with a tooth pick.
Place these on a grill for 15-20 minutes, with the stuffing facing up. If you don't have a grill, place them on a cookie sheet and bake at 350 for 20 - 25 minutes or until the Jalapeno is tender and the bacon is cooked.
