GRILLED JALAPENO POPPERS
These are delicious as appetizers or include them on your beef or chicken kabobs. The smokiness of the bacon and the smokiness of your grill's charcoal is a wonderful combination. The cheese chills out the heat of the jalapeños leaving them just slightly hot. Dip them in Ranch dressing to chill the heat even more. Cream cheese is a perfect substitute for neufchatel cheese.

Steps:
- Cut peppers in half.
- Use a spoon to remove the seeds and white membranes.
- Fill each half with the cheese.
- Cut the bacon slices in half so that you have 24 shorter slices.
- Wrap each cheese stuffed jalapeño with a bacon slice; secure with toothpicks if you need to or slide them on skewers.
- Grill over hot coals until the bacon is crispy and browned, turning every few minutes (stay with them and watch for flare ups from the dripping bacon fat or they will burn); grill for about 15 or 20 minutes.
- The bacon should be crisp, the jalapeño crisp tender and the cheese should be hot.

Steps:
- Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat, and lightly oil the grate.
- Mix together the cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and Cheddar cheese in a bowl until the mixture is thoroughly blended.
- Lay a jalapeno pepper onto a work surface, and cut a lengthwise sliver from the side of the pepper, exposing the seeds and white membrane. With the handle of a teaspoon, scrape out the seeds and membrane, leaving the hollow pepper. Repeat for the rest of the peppers. Chop up the pepper slices, and mix into the cheese stuffing. Stuff each pepper with cheese mixture, and wrap each stuffed pepper in a half bacon slice. Secure with toothpicks.
- Grill the poppers on a less-hot part of the grill until the peppers are hot and juicy and the bacon is browned, 30 to 40 minutes.

Tips:
- Choose the right jalapeños: Look for firm, plump jalapeños with smooth skin. Avoid any that are bruised or have blemishes.
- Wear gloves when handling jalapeños: The capsaicin in jalapeños can irritate your skin, so it's best to wear gloves when preparing them.
- Remove the seeds and ribs from the jalapeños: This will help to reduce the heat of the peppers.
- Stuff the jalapeños with your favorite fillings: Some popular fillings include cheese, bacon, sausage, and shrimp.
- Wrap the jalapeños in bacon: This will help to keep them moist and flavorful while they cook.
- Grill the jalapeños over medium heat: This will help to prevent them from burning.
- Serve the jalapeños hot or warm: They're also delicious as a cold appetizer.
