Notes

1 Stuffed jalapeño per serving
Tips* don't roll the bacon too tightly around the jalapeño because it will shrink as it cooks. Also don't over fill the jalapeños with too much filling. 
Buy more jalapeños and bacon than you think you'll need so if you have extra filling you can just make a few extra.
