One of my favorite recipes and one that is very popular with everyone in our family is"

Appetizer
Jalepeno Poppers.

Buy a dozen or more of jalepeno peppers. Slit them in half the long way and scrape out all the seeds and the stem.
I like each piece to be about and inch to an inch and a half long....so you may cut each half in half again, the short way.

Fill each quarter with cream cheese and them wrap it with a half a slice of bacon, and secure it with a toothpick.

Place each piece on a broiling pan and place in the oven at 350 degrees for about an hour or until the bacon has browned the way you like it.

That's it!

I am going to make those when I get back home again Jilly... they sound so good !.
Thank you.

That sounds good too Jilly. How hot are the jalepenos eaten like this? I like chillies but not TOO hot.

A timely recipe with all those green tomatoes left at the end of the season. My mother used to make these and they were yummy. Just found the recipe again/
