[Roxy]

Bacon-Wrapped Cajun Jalapenos:

 

 

Ingredients:

8 large jalapeno peppers

1 package (3 ounces) cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup finely shredded cheddar cheese

1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning

8 thick-sliced peppered bacon strips

Directions:

Cut jalapenos in half lengthwise; remove seeds and center membranes. In a small mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, cheddar cheese and Cajun seasoning. Stuff about 1-1/2 teaspoonfuls into each pepper half.

Cut bacon strips in half widthwise. In a large skillet, cook bacon until partially cooked. Wrap a bacon piece around each pepper; secure with a toothpick.

Place on a wire rack in a shallow baking pan. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 25-30 minutes or until bacon is crisp. Discard toothpicks. Serve immediately. Yield: 16 appetizers.
