Baked Potatoes With Bacon & Jalapenos

• 3 whole Large Potatoes, Red Or White Skinned
• 6 ounces, weight Bacon
• 8 ounces, weight Cream Cheese, Softened
• 6 cloves Garlic, Minced
• 1 Tablespoon Jalapeno Slices (heaping)
• 1 teaspoon Black Pepper
• 1 teaspoon Salt

1. Wash your potatoes, poke a few fork holes in them and microwave them until they are baked. Depending on the size, it should take around 8 to 12 minutes. Test to make sure they are fork tender.
2. Preheat your oven to 350 F.
3. In a skillet over medium heat, cook bacon until crispy. Remove bacon from pan to a paper towel to remove excess oil then crumble it into small pieces and set aside.
4. Combine cream cheese, garlic, jalapenos, pepper and salt in a bowl. Mix ingredients thoroughly then add in crumbled bacon.
5. Take baked potatoes, halve them and scoop out a bit of the insides. Fill the cavity with the cream cheese mixture. Place the filled potatoes on a baking sheet and put it in the oven to bake for 20 minutes. Serve hot and garnish with extra jalapenos if you dare.
