Take yourself some fresh Jalepeno peppers wash them and slice them lengthwise - now get a spoon and scrape out the seeds and all membranes (leave some of the membranes -those little white ridges- attached if you like it real spicy) now fill these little pepper boats up with cream cheese (you can use low fat varieites as well) once that is done grab yourself a package of bacon and cut the slices into thirds (easier to do if still a little frozen) take one of the thirds and wrap it around your cheese filled pepper and secure with a toothpick... repeat till you are out of peppers or bacon or cheese as the case may be.
set them on a rack and bake at 340* till bacon is crispy - I find the thick bacon does not crisp up as well.
These are SO GOOD! my mother liked them better after they cooled down, I ate all mine before they had a chance to cool off so I can not say which is better to my preferences.

I could never live with you. This sounds sinfully delicious and I'd be 500 pounds living around you hehehehe

*I* can barely live with me 
they are very good - I suppose using low fat cream cheese does not quite make up for the baking fat though....
if you do give in and try them place the peppers on a rack in a shallow pan and much of that bacon FAT will drip away from the goodies.
I also set them under the broiler for a moment to brown.

We used to go to the Comedy Store every week and part of our standard fare was jalapeño poppers. I love them! I've never had them with bacon around them, but I don't like bacon that is not crisp anyway so I'll probably skip trying them that way, no offense hehehe. Nor do I mess around with low fat anything! I fast once day a week exactly so I can not worry about what I eat!
I'm growing all kinds of peppers this year in my garden... jalapeños, habaneros, cayenne, and one other kind but I can't seem to remember what kind it is. Also sweet peppers. They don't seem to be doing so well though. They are not growing much at all, they are hardly any bigger than they were when I put them in.
I love to put habaneros in my salad with plenty of creamy, avocado and goat cheese to cool my tongue. I think habaneros are among the hottest of the hot peppers.
My brother's wife is from Afghanistan and she makes a sort of salsa, I don't know what to call it really, but it's just cilantro and jalapeños thrown in the blender with some lime and salt. When I have it around I put it on practically everything!
Well, I guess I'm finished writing this 25 page 'comment'... I'm outta here. Later...

habeneros ARE certainly hot... they give a nice burn and lots of flavor.
I forget what kind of pepper my father used in the ceviche he used to make when I was a kid... but between the hot pepper and the acid from the limes it cooked the fish.

It was habeneros! I remember he wore rubber gloves when working with them because they would burn his flesh. hooooha! comeon icecream.

Hehehe, I thought you were making a very funny joke, but I realize now that that is probably exactly what happens! I've never had ceviche, I'm barely familiar with the word, I just know I've seen it printed before. I could go online and find out what it is, but it would be more fun for you to tell me... hehehe, also less effort on my part. ;-) (I don't know where everybody is getting those smiley faces. I used to like that little smiling face I put up there, but I've gotten almost addicted to the colorful actual smiley faces, and some of their too cute expressions.)

This is too funny, I was just reading a recipe for these today. I'm not a fan of Jalepeno's but they sure do sound good.
Just remember to wear gloves when you are working with the peppers.

All I can say is MMMMMMMM! I am going to the kitchen to check and see if I have the ingrediants right now! I know that they don't sound like a breakfast meal...but, I find myself eating weird stuff at all times of the day anyway! So, breakfast, here I come!
