baked jalapeno’s

Rinse and deseed a dozen whole jalapeno’s. (It is best to use plastic gloves for this, as the juice can burn your hand.) Using softened cream cheese, stuff each half of the jalapeno and then wrap a half piece of bacon around each half. Place on foil which has been sprayed with Pam and bake at 400 degrees until bacon is done.
