List of Ingredients
8 large jalapeno peppers
1 package (3 ounces) cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup finely shredded cheddar cheese
1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning

Recipe
Cut jalapenos in half lengthwise; remove seeds and center membranes. In a small
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

pan. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 25-30 minutes or until bacon is crisp.
Discard toothpicks. Serve immediately.
