Last year I had a ton of jalapenos and I made something I called firecrackers. Cut off the top of the peppers and core out the ribs and seeds as best you can without breaking them open. Mix together some shredded cheese with some mayo and cream cheese to a consistency that is thin enough to stuff the peppers, but not so thin it runs out. It’s thick but spreadable. So stuff all those peppers then take a slice of bacon and wrap it all around. Start with one end over the hole with a little overlap, then wrap to secure. Shove a skewer in the pointy end to secure the other end of the bacon, then throw those suckers on the grill to you have crispy bacon or a huge fire. 😃 They look like little bottle rockets. 🙂 ---

Advice, you ask? Don’t perform oral sex after eating one. ☹ Other than that, slice them and put them on hamburgers or in chili. ---
