My good friend JenMo has raved about the Pioneer Woman. Now, Pam101 considers herself many things...a pop culture guru, a foodie, common-sense genius, food photographer and a fantastic party thrower! I really believe that the Pioneer Woman and I would be fast friends! She is a great foodie, photographer and the lady has a ranch! Today my sister in law sent me a note about she wants to try this one particular recipe...I thought it was worth sharing because it looks damn delicious!
I think the Pioneer Woman is quickly becoming a Pam101 fave!
Bacon-Wrapped Jalapeno Thingies
Ingredients
* 20 whole Fresh Jalapenos, 2-3 Inches In Size
* 2 cubes Cream Cheese, softened
* 1 pound Thin(regular) Bacon, Sliced Into Thirds
Preparation Instructions
If you have them, slip on some latex gloves for the pepper prep… Cut jalapenos in half, length-wise. With a spoon, remove the seeds and white membrane (the source of the heat; leave a little if you like things HOT). Smear softened cream cheese into each jalapeno half. Wrap jalapeno with bacon pieces (1/3 slice). Secure by sticking toothpick through the middle. (At this point, you can freeze them, uncooked, in a Ziploc bag for later use).
Bake on a pan with a rack in a 375-degree oven for 20-25 minutes. You don’t want the bacon to shrink so much it starts to the squeeze the jalapeno. If, after 20 minutes, the bacon doesn’t look brown enough, just turn on the broiler for a couple of minutes to finish it off. These are best when the jalapeno still has a bit of bite to it.
Serve immediately, or they’re also great at room temperature.
