BAKED CREAM CHEESE JALAPENO POPPERS
After a number of unsatisfactory attempts at making deep-fried poppers, I modified a recipe by Emeril that is much easier than frying and everyone in our family agrees that these are at least as good as -- if not better than -- any fried poppers they have had! We love hot peppers and always make a lot of these from the ones we grow in our garden every year.

CREAM CHEESE STUFFED JALAPENOS WRAPPED IN BACON
Delicious stuffed jalapeno recipe I got from my sister. Great for parties, especially barbecues. You can cook either in the oven or on the grill, but I prefer the grill. You can also substitute Anaheim peppers for a little less heat.

Steps:
- Wash and remove the seeds of the jalapenos by making a "T" cut in the jalapenos and scooping out the seeds. (A "T" cut is where you cut the pepper horizontal about half way and then in the middle of the slit, you cut a vertical slit forming a "T" cut in the pepper.).
- In a bowl, combine cream cheese, sun dried tomatoes, and garlic powder. Using a teaspoon "stuff" the jalapeno with the cream cheese mixture.
- Wrap jalapeno in bacon and secure with a toothpick. (If you are cooking on the grill remember to soak toothpick in water for 15 minutes before securing pepper with it, to ensure it doesn't catch fire on the grill).
- Cook on the grill or bake at 450° F for 15 minutes or until bacon is cooked through.
- Enjoy!

Steps:
- cut a slit in each jalapeno pepper so that you can open it up. Remove the entire contents of the inside of the pepper. Leaving some of the placenta and seeds will result in a hotter pepper, so how much you clean on the inside is totally up to your taste. I recommend using disposable latex gloves while doing this, because failure to do so may result in unintended pains later -- particularly if you are a male :).
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Soften the cream cheese in the microwave for about 20 seconds.
- Place the cream cheese in a bowl.
- Add the ranch dressing powder and the grated cheese to the bowl with the cream cheese. MIx well.
- Fill the jalapenos with the creame/ranch/cheese mixture.
- Trim any excess fat from the bacon, preferably with kitchen scissors.
- Wrap all of the peppers with the bacon.
- Cook at 375 degrees for about 40 minutes. Keep an eye on them, because depending on the fat in the bacon, thickness of the bacon and so on, your time will vary. This can also be put on a grill -- it will take far less time but will demand your constant attention.
- Enjoy the best stuffed jalapeños you have ever had.
