2 Kickin' Jalapeno Poppers

These delicious appetizers will make a great addition to any get together! You won't spend hours in the kitchen or much money to make these Kickin' Jalapeno Poppers.

Ingredients

Bacon Wrapped Poppers:

• Jalapenos

• Cream Cheese

• Bacon

Stuffed Jalapeno Poppers:

Add the following with the above ingredients

• Tomato

• Cheddar Cheese

• Smoked Paprika

• Salt

Directions

Bacon Wrapped Poppers:

• Cook your bacon and chop it up. Alternately you could use store bought real bacon pieces.

• Slice the Jalapenos in half long ways.

• Use a Teaspoon or something similar to remove the seeds and veins from the Jalapeno halves.

• Fill the hollow jalapeno with cream cheese.

• Wrap the halved jalapenos with half a strip of bacon.

• Secure the bacon with a toothpick if needed.

• Place on a baking sheet.

Stuffed Jalapeno Poppers:

• Slice the Jalapeno long ways again, but instead of cutting them in half this time you just want to cut a sliver off of the jalapeno to make a boat or bathtub shaped jalapeno. These will be deeper the the jalapeno halve we used on the Bacon Wrapped Poppers.

• Remove the seeds and veins just like above.

• Mix the cream cheese with a couple healthy pinches of shredded cheddar.

• Seed the tomato and dice up the meat. You don't want all the seeds and juice because it will make your mixture too thin.

• Add the tomato to the cheese mixture.

• Add the bacon to the cheese mixture.

• Add a couple sprinkles of smoked paprika and salt.

• Mix the cheese mixture well.

• Stuff the 'boats' with the cheese/bacon mixture and place on a baking sheet.

Cooking

No matter which Popper you decide to make, both are cooked for 25-30 minutes in a 350 degree oven
