Stuffed jalapeno peppers

Ingredients

• 24 medium fresh jalapeno peppers


• 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened


• 3 cups (12 ounces) finely shredded cheddar cheese


• 1-1/2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce


• 4 bacon strips, cooked and crumbled

Directions

• Cut jalapenos in half lengthwise; remove seeds and membranes. In a large saucepan, boil peppers in water for 5-10 minutes (the longer you boil the peppers, the milder they become). Drain and rinse in cold water; set aside.


• In a small bowl, beat the cream cheese, cheddar cheese and Worcestershire sauce until smooth. Spoon 2 teaspoonfuls into each jalapeno; sprinkle with bacon.


• Place on a greased baking sheet. Bake at 400° for 3-5 minutes or until filling is warmed.
