Charred Jalapeno Poppers

Roast jalapeno peppers stuffed with cream cheese and wrapped in bacon. These are a little time consuming, but the results are delicious. Prep time includes time to grill the peppers. You can let your imagination go wild and adjust the recipe by adding anything you think sounds good. Cream cheese measurement is an estimate because of the difference in pepper sizes. Thanks to Chuck who makes these and takes them to all the neighborhood cookouts and potlucks. He often goes home with requests for more.
