Stuffed Jalapeno Firecrackers

By Barb

Ingredients

• 12 jalapeno peppers, halved lengthwise
• 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
• Cajun seasoning, or to taste
• 12 slices jalapeno bacon, cut in half
• toothpicks

Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat the oven's broiler and set the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source.

2. Fill the jalapeno peppers with cream cheese. Sprinkle the Cajun seasoning on top, then wrap each stuffed jalapeno with a slice of bacon. Secure with a toothpick. Arrange the wrapped jalapeno peppers in a single layer, face down on a broiler rack.

3. Broil in the preheated oven until the bacon becomes crisp, 8 to 15 minutes on each side.
