Ingredients
- 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup pimiento cheese
- 4 tablespoons barbecue sauce
- 8 jalapeno peppers, seeded and halved lengthwise
- 16 bacon strips
Directions
- Preheat oven to 375°. In a large bowl, combine cream cheese, pimiento cheese and 2 tablespoons barbecue sauce. Mix until well combined. Spoon or pipe into jalapeno halves.
- Wrap each jalapeno half with a slice of bacon. Drizzle with remaining 2 tablespoons barbeque sauce. Place on a baking sheet, cut-side up. Bake until cheese is bubbly and bacon is golden brown, 20-25 minutes.
