The Best Appetizer in the World

     Son #1 made these for our 'important turkey dinner' day Monday. His cousins -- and we -- watched like hawks to make sure everyone got a fair share. (Yes, they were THAT good.)

Grams misheard, and referred to these tasty little goodies as "poopers." And that's what they're now called in our family! You may know them as 'poppers,' but we know better.

JALAPENO POOPERS

Ree Drummond toothpicks hers and cuts them in half -- but we just eat them straight.
(See below)



10 jalapeno peppers, split lengthwise and deseeded
     (good luck getting them all to be mild or spicy -- it just seems to be the luck of the draw)
1 package cream cheese, softened
1 cup grated cheddar cheese
1 cup grated mozzarella/provolone cheese
1 pound bacon

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix the cheese together, add garlic salt and pepper to taste, and pile into the pepper 'shells,' arranged on a baking sheet. Cut bacon in half vertically, and wrap each pooper with a slice, tucking the ends underneath.
    Wasn't that easy?

Bake approx. 20 min., until the poopers are melted and sizzling. Serve to 5-10 hungry people. (Save some for me!)


Son said that he'd combined several different recipes to come up with this version. Ree Drummond's recipe for poppers is much simpler, but still good.

I plan on trying this with other types of peppers, too, parked by a bowl of soup. Oh my.
