Dan’s Jalapeno Poppers

• 12 fresh jalapeno peppers, halved lengthwise, stem and seeds removed
• 1 pack of Philadelphia cream cheese
• 1 small jar of queso cheese
• 1 pack of real bacon bits

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
2. Cut the jalapenos lengthwise and cut the stems off. (Use gloves.)
3. Use a spoon (a melon baller works best) and scrape the seeds out of the pepper.
4. Put a layer of cream cheese in the pepper.
5. At the end of the pepper where the top was cut off, make a little wall of cream cheese so the queso does not run out when baking.  (because I am an engineer)
6. Add a scoop of queso on top of the cream cheese.
7. Sprinkle the bacon bits on top.
8. Place peppers in a baking pan and place in the oven for about 20 minutes or until peppers are soft.
