Bacon Wrapped Peppers

Ingredients
3-4 large jalapeño peppers
6-8 strips of bacon
4 ounces soft goat cheese

Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350*F.

2. Cut peppers in half and remove membranes and seeds with a table knife.

3. Fill the cavities of the peppers with goat cheese. Then wrap each pepper with a strip of bacon, using a toothpick to secure the ends.

4. Arrange peppers on a broiler pan or a baking sheet with a rack to allow the bacon fat to drip down away from the peppers. Cook for about an hour, checking every 10-20 minutes. The bacon should be crisp but the cheese should not be burned.

5. Let cool for 5 minutes before eating.  

Comments
Art loves stuffed peppers.  When he saw peppers at the market he bought six and then prepared them two ways.  I suggested goat cheese to him, so this is one of the two methods of preparation he devised.  He said they were amazing and that cooking really mellows out the hot jalapeño taste.
