Bacon-Wrapped Cheddar Poppers and Smokies

Originally published on January 9, 2015

Alrighty, after much neglect toward my blog and all around general indifference for FAR too long, I’m ready to get busy again.  Let’s get shizzapoppin with some mouthwatering appetizers!

That’s hors d’oeuvres, for you fancy people.

Bacon-Wrapped Cheddar Poppers and Smokies

What you will need:

• 1 lb. any kind of bacon
• 1 package Little Smokies
• 1 small bag shredded cheddar cheese
• 8 fresh jalapeños
  

  Assembly for these are very easy.
Take your pound of bacon and slice the whole chunk in half vertically.  There’s your bacon pieces!  Now take a Smokie and wrap each one with bacon and place on foiled cookie sheet. The foil makes for way easy cleanup afterward!
Slice jalapeños lengthwise. Seed & core them, then rinse thoroughly.  Sprinkle some cheddar shreds into each pepper, then wrap with bacon. Arrange on foiled tray. It’s okay if the appetizers touch each other on the tray.
Bake at 375 degrees for about 25 minutes.  Serve with toothpicks if desired.  Watch them disappear SUPERFAST!
*Oh and I apologize in advance for the way the word jalapeños appears as if it’s on a drunken bender.  The blog is acting wonky and wants to post jalapeños all funnylookin.
