Smoked Bacon Wrapped Stuffed Jalapeños

Have you came yet? I have. This appetizer is something of gluttony; my favorite sin. Jalapeños stuffed with a cream cheese mix, then wrapped in bacon? Don’t mind if I do. The jalapeños that I purchase from my local Asian market are fairly large and mild. They have just the right amount heat to not overpower the flavors. The wrapped and stuffed jalapeños will only take 3 hours in a smoker.
