This is Mr. CT's favourite stuffed jalapeno recipe and he believes it is the only way bacon jalapenos should ever be made. Seriously. Even though I don't eat meat or a lot of cheese, I do make an exception for this guys. We do not eat them often, only during special times because they are that good, and because they are a little fatty. The secret is (Mr. CT said I could revel this) is mixing bacon, and some grease, into the cream cheese. His problem with other recipes of these is that not every bite has bacon, so he created these guys. Hope you give them a try!
Cook up your bacon until crispy
Set the strainer over a small bowl
Pour and scrape the bacon and the grease from the skillet into the strainer
Let sit for a few minutes so the grease and bacon separate
Cut off the tops of jalapeno and then in half
Deseed with a spoon and clean well with warm water
Dry well and set off to the side
Dump bacon into a bowl along with 1/2 block of soften cream cheese
Add a few drops of the bacon grease to give it an extra bacon flavor
Mix well until smooth
