Instructions
MAKE THE PIMENTO CHEESE
- Gently stir together the cheddar cheeses, pimentos, mayonnaise, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, cayenne, salt and pepper in a medium-sized bowl.
- Taste and adjust for salt and pepper. Add in a dash or two of hot sauce to your preference.
- Fold the mixture gently to combine.
MAKE THE JALAPENO POPPERS
- Slice the jalapeno peppers in half lengthwise and scoop out the insides.
- Fill each jalapeno pepper half with the pimento cheese mixture. You might have some leftover, depending on the size of your peppers. Just distribute evenly.
- Wrap each stuffed jalapeno boat with a slice of bacon. Pierce with toothpicks to hold the bacon in place if needed.
- Heat a grill to medium heat and grill the jalapeno poppers for 10-15 minutes, or until the bacon is nice and crispy to your liking. You can also bake the poppers for 20-30 minutes at 350 degrees F until the bacon is crispy. You can blast them with the broiler a couple of minutes at the end if you need to.
- Remove from heat, cool slightly, and serve.
