Stuffed Jalapenos

• 10 large jalapenos
• 1 (8 ounce) package reduced-fat cream cheese
• 10 cocktail franks (or little smokeys)
• 14 lb smoked bacon, strips
• 10 toothpicks (for securing)

1. Pre-heat oven to 350.
2. Pull stems off jalapenos and rinse.
3. Slice jalapenos in half, lengthwise, and remove all seeds.
4. Fill (but don't overfill) each jalapeno half with cream cheese.
5. Place cocktail frank between two jalapeno halves.
6. Wrap one slice of bacon around stuffed jalapeno and secure with a toothpick.
7. Place stuffed jalapenos in a shallow baking dish and cook on 350 for at least 30-45 minutes (do not cook on a cookie sheet, otherwise bacon grease will get all over your oven).
8. NOTE: The longer you cook the jalapenos, the less kick they will have.
9. I would not recommend cooking for less than 30 minutes, however, since the bacon needs to be cooked thoroughly.
