Game Day Food: Jalapeno Bacon Poppers.

Do you like my bright green plate? I only use it for preparing or holding meat. 

I love football. I get really pumped up for games, I scream at the t.v., and I get pissed if my team loses. I can't help myself. Since football season officially starts today I figured I'd share a game day recipe. This recipe is not my own, I've seen it all over pinterest, in many different forms, so I'm not even sure who to credit it to. It was however, a huge hit when I made it last weekend for the college games.

Ingredients:

Jalapeños - I have a ton in my garden and people keep giving us more. I needed to use them up.
Cream Cheese
Bacon
Garlic Powder, Onion Powder, Ground Mustard, etc.
Toothpicks

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Cut the jalapeños in half lengthwise, remove the seeds.
Mix the cream cheese with any extra seasonings you'd like to use. I used garlic powder and mustard because that is what I had on hand.
Fill each jalapeño half with cream cheese mixture.
Wrap bacon around jalapeño and stick a toothpick through it to hold bacon in place. It usually took about half a strip of bacon to reach around the pepper.

Bake at 350 for around 45 minutes or until bacon is fully cooked. Be sure to use a cookie sheet that has sides as there will be lots of bacon grease sizzling in the pan. Save that bacon grease and use it to make dog biscuits.

I just have to add, GO JETS!! J-E-T-S, JETS, JETS, JETS!!
