A member of the capsicum family, jalapeños range in heat from moderate to very hot. For this recipe, you'll want to choose fresh jalapeños that are firm and glossy without any bruising. You can store them in a perforated bag in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
Chef’s tip: To make filling the peppers easier, place the cream cheese mixture in a resealable bag and cut off one of the edges with scissors. Squeeze the mixture directly from the bag into the peppers.

In a medium bowl, combine cream cheese and cheddar, mix to combine.
Using a paring knife, carefully cut off the top of each pepper and remove the ribs and seeds. Fill each pepper with some of the cream cheese mixture.

Grill, turning occasionally until bacon is cooked, about 10-12 minutes.
