Southwestern Grilled Bacon Wrapped Jalapeno Poppers

Ingredients

18 medium jalapeno peppers
8 ounce package cream cheese, softened
8 ounces colby jack cheese, shredded
1 tablespoon Mrs Dash SW Chipotle Seasoning
1 pound bacon, (1 slice per jalapeno)

Directions

Preheat grill to medium high.

Slice jalapenos lengthwise from stem to tip, leaving the stem intact. Use a small spoon to scrape the seeds and veins from jalapenos.

In a medium bowl, combine cheeses and seasoning. Gently squeeze the stem and tip of jalapeno to open the sliced pocket. Add about 1½ tablespoons of mixture to each jalapeno. Set aside.

Wrap each jalapeno with a slice of bacon using 1 or 2 toothpicks to secure the bacon.

Place poppers on the grill cut side down. YES, down. Once the top has cooked and the cheese starts to soften, use a spatula to loosen the bacon from the grill and flip. Cook until bacon is cooked through about 10-15 minutes.
