Found this on my favorite website. Love Poppers, so I'll be trying these this weekend. For pictures and better directions find the original here: http://www.theartofdoingstuff.com/the-38-calorie-jalapeno-popper/



Jalapeño Poppers
(makes 12 poppers)

6 Jalapeño peppers (small – medium sized)
6 Tablespoons of cream cheese
4 slices of bacon (each piece cut into thirds)
hot sauce

Method
Preheat BBQ grill on high.

Slice peppers in half and remove seeds and membranes.
Mix cream cheese and several dashes of hot sauce together.
Fill peppers with cream cheese mixture.
Top with a few more dots of hot sauce if you have the burning desire to do so.
Wrap each popper with 1/3rd of a slice of bacon. Secure with toothpick.

Lay poppers on hot grill. Reduce heat beneath poppers to low and side grills to medium-low.
Close grill lid.

Cook for 1/2 hour to 1 hour depending on how hot you like the peppers. I like mine cooked for around 45 minutes so there’s a bit of heat still left in the peppers but not too much. Check on your peppers every 10 to 15 minutes to make sure they aren’t burning to a crisp. If you have trouble with the bacon causing flare ups, turn the grill directly beneath the poppers off completely and turn up the side grills slightly.
