Stacie's Jalapeno Poppers ~ Wow-Wee!

My friend Stacie, inventor of the Super Bowl Bacon Chips & Guacamole recipe, brought these amazing poppers to a get-together the other night and I couldn't get enough of them! A Super Low Carb treat that taste Super Good. 

12 jalapeno peppers
12 slices of bacon
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
1 clove of garlic, finely minced
1/4 tsp garlic salt

Preheat oven to 400.  Cook bacon in microwave or in frying pan until cooked 'rare' - edible but still flexible and definitely not crispy.  While bacon is cooking shred cheese and wash and slice peppers length wise and remove seeds.*  Mix cheeses and garlic and spoon into peppers, dividing evenly between the 24 peppers. Once bacon is cooled enough to handle cut each slice in half and wrap each pepper with bacon and place each pepper on baking sheet.  Bake for 25 minutes then switch to broil and cook for 2 minutes longer.  Remove from oven and eat hot or cool, and try to stop at four…  I betcha can't! Makes 24 poppers.  *If you like heat, then leave the seeds, but consider who'll be eating them - they've got a kick without the seeds…then again, if you want them all to yourself, leave the seeds!!
