bacon wrapped jalapeno poppers

Ingredients

• 1 packet of fresh Jalapeños or sweet bite peppers (Aldi, Tesco and Asda all seem to stock various varieties)
• 1 bottle hot sauce
• Cheese, cream cheese, mozzarella or feta works really well…as does chilli cheese for that extra kick.
• 1 packet of smoked streaky bacon
• 1 packet cocktail sticks, soaked in water
• 1 packet wooden skewers, soaked in water
• 1 block of wood, soaked in water then drilled to hold the skewers.

Method

1. Slice the top off the chilli’s, remove any seeds.
2. Slice the cheese into small chunks and half fill the each chilli, add a splash of hot sauce to each, then top up with cheese, cramming as much in as you can.
3. Wrap each chilli with a slice of bacon. Secure in place with a couple of cocktail sticks.
4. Insert a skewer through each chilli and place into the block of wood.
5. Roast in front of the fire until the bacon is crisp and the peppers are soft.
