Our daughter first made these this summer and they were a big hit with the men folk in our family. You can regulate the heat by the amount of seeds you leave in the peppers but with an ice cold beer these are a hit!
You can use any amount of jalapenos you want but be sure to wear rubber gloves. Wash off the peppers and pat them dry. Then cut them in half and remove the membrane and seeds unless you like them hot and want to leave some of the seeds. Just use a spoon to scrape out the seeds.
For about 24 peppers, that would be 12 cut in half. Use about 4 ounces of cream cheese and 2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese and mix well. Fry about 8 pieces of bacon and crumble into the cheese mixture and mix well. Then stuff the cheese mixture into the pepper. Put peppers on a baking sheet and broil until the cheese has melted.
You can make these ahead and put in a freezer zip lock bag and freeze them after they have been stuffed with the cheese. Take them out the freezer the day you plan on serving them to thaw. Then broil and serve.
