Jalapeño poppers (Recipe)

A simple little recipe for homemade jalapeño poppers. They are super yummy and will be a big hit at any party.


INGREDIENTS

A can of Pillsbury Crescent dough
About 2 tablespoons of cream cheese
1-2 fresh jalapeños
3 strips of bacon

DIRECTIONS

1. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees F. 

2. 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.

3. Cut the bacon into pieces and then cook it up. I usually cut it up first because then you have nice, neat pieces and it doesn't get too crumbly.

4. 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. 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).

5. Layer a small dollop of cream cheese, a piece or two of jalapeño, and bacon. 

6. 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.

7. Bake 10-15 minutes and munch away!
