Jalapeno Poppers

We were in need of something quick and easy to take to a family party...so i fiund this, worked great because we had jalapenos in our garden :) http://www.hellohue.com/2011/01/pop-em-like-theyre-hot.html You will need:: a can of Pillsbury Crescent dough about 2 tablespoons of cream cheese (give or take, depending on how much you want to use) 1-2 fresh jalapeños and about 3 strips of bacon (if you want... I always want bacon.) These amounts make 16 poppers. Oven pre-heated to 350 degrees F. Chop the jalapeños into small pieces. Clean out the seeds. Don't stick your fingers in your eyes or mouth for the rest of the day. Cut the bacon into pieces and then cook it up. I usually cut it up first cuz then you have nice, neat pieces and it doesn't get too crumbly. Just watch it so it doesn't burn. Unless you like burnt bacon. But that's weird. Roll out your dough. It's perforated into triangles, but I cut each triangle in half with a pizza cutter and do one popper on each half. Does that make sense? Sorry I didn't take pictures of that part. You can do it without cutting the crescents in half, and they'll just be a little bigger than bite size (and then the recipe will yield 8 larger poppers). Layer a small dollop of cream cheese, a piece or two of jalapeño, and bacon. Bring the corners of the dough together and twist them together at the top. Press the edges of the dough together so the insides don't gush out. Bake 10-15 minutes at 350 and munch away!

We loved these!!! we didn't quite have enough jalapenos so we used anahiems as well. We also did two cans of six, and a pount of bacon :) the more the better!. you can see in the picture how i cut them. there were a hit at the party!! Jason's cousin told us he was taking ay leftovers home. We have already made these again! we used some mystery pepper from our garden...a super spicy red tomato-ish looking one. This is on the keeper list for sure!!
