Kymartin6's Jalapeno Poppers

• 20 -30 jalapeno peppers, halved and seeded
• 12 lb bacon, cooked and finely crumbled
• 12 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese or 2 cups monterey jack cheese, shredded
• 12 teaspoon chili powder (optional)
• 14 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
• salt (optional)
• 1 cup Italian seasoned breadcrumbs

1. Arrange the jalapeno halves on a large cookie sheet.
2. Mix the remaining ingredients thoroughly.
3. This is best done with a food processor but if, like me, you don't have one a fork and plenty of elbow grease will do the job.
4. Pack the cheese mixture into the jalapeno halves so that it rounds up a bit.
5. If you're lucky the size of the jalapenos and the amount of the cheese will work out right.
6. If not you either have some jalapenos to use for something else (Recipe #243399 or Recipe #250732 perhaps), or you have bacon-cheese mix to spread on crackers.
7. Bake at 350F for 30-35 minutes.
8. Enjoy hot, lukewarm, cold, or briefly rewarmed in the microwave.
9. Reputedly, they are excellent with beer.
10. I don't like beer so I can't say.
11. However, if you like beer you can consider that expert advice.
12. ;) :D LOL.
13. Variations include substituting mozzarella for the sharp cheddar, substituting cracker crumbs or crushed potato chips for the bread crumbs, and drastically reducing the amount of bread crumbs for a lower-carb option.
