BACON WRAPPED JALAPENO THINGIES

(Recipe adapted from Pioneer Woman)

30 whole fresh jalapenos, 2-3 inches in size
2 8oz. packages cream cheese, softened
2 packages Hormel Black Label bacon, cut in half

Put some latex gloves on before working with the jalapenos!!  Chop tops off and slice jalapenos in half length-wise.  With a spoon remove the seeds and white membrane (leave a little in you like things HOT!)  Smear softened cream cheese into each jalapeno half.  Wrap jalapeno halves with 1/2 slice of bacon.  Secure by sticking a toothpick through the middle.  (At this point, you can freeze them, uncooked, in a Ziploc bag for later use.) Bake on a pan in a 375* oven for 20-25 minutes.  If it still doesn't look brown enough, turn on the broiler for a couple of minutes to finish it off.  Serve immediately, or they are also still yummy at room temperature.
