Using food grade rubber gloves, slice jalapenos lengthwise, leaving stem on. Clean out seeds and pulp. Set aside.
In a skillet, or the oven, cook bacon until crisp. Drain on paper towel until cool. Chop or crumble into bits.
In a medium bowl, combine softened cream cheese and grated cheddar cheese. Add bacon bits and mix well.
Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or foil. Fill the jalapenos with equal amounts of the cheese mixture. About a heaping tablespoon.
Bake for 20 minutes, or until peppers are soft and the cheese is starting to brown. Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
For grill or campfire, par-boil the prepared pepper halves before stuffing.Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the jalapenos to the boiling water for 2 – 3 minutes until color changes slightly. Drain and add to a bath of ice cold water until cool. Drain on paper towel and pat dry.Fill with cheese mixture and heat over medium-high grill or campfire fire over coals until cheese is warm and melted and the peppers have nice grill marks.
