Bacon Cheddar Jalapeno Poppers

Debated between 2 and 3 stars on this one. The flavor was just ok; I've definitely had way better, but this was an easy recipe for sure. There is WAY too much cheese. There's no way you can fit one pound of cheese in 6 jalapenos, and I bought the biggest peppers I could find! I bought a 1/2lb block and even that was too much cheese, and I was really overstuffing them. You could get away with cutting the bacon slices in half and doing a half slice per popper. Lastly, cooking these under the broiler is not ideal. The bacon on top starts to burn, while the bacon on the bottom stays mushy and undercooked. Also, with such high heat, the cheese oozes out everywhere. After 10 minutes, these still weren't done. Cook them in a 375-400F oven instead, at 12-15 minutes. I probably wouldn't make these again.

I make these all the time and usually get 8 of the largest peppers I can get. I do add 4oz of crumbled Queso Fresco, a few tablespoons of a shredded Mexican blend, and a couple tablespoons of Thai Sweet Chili Sauce.

Yum. This will not serve 12 people. These are so good.
