bacon

🥗Healthier: turkey bacon

💰Cheaper: pork belly

Turkey bacon is lower in fat but still provides a similar flavor.

cheddar cheese

🥗Healthier: reduced-fat cheese

💰Cheaper: processed cheese

Reduced-fat cheese lowers calories while processed cheese is often cheaper.

bread crumbs

Cut the jalapenos in half and remove the seeds and membranes.

Leave the stem on the jalapenos for easier handling while eating.

Pinch off a piece of cream cheese and stuff it into each jalapeno half, making it level with the pepper.

Sprinkle a good coating of Wolf Rub original on each stuffed jalapeno.

Wrap each stuffed jalapeno with one piece of thin bacon, starting at the fat end and overlapping it to keep the cream cheese from popping out.

Place the wrapped jalapenos in the fridge for about an hour to set up.

After chilling, place the jalapenos on the grill cold, cooking them indirectly with lump charcoal at a temperature of 275-300°F.

Cook for about an hour to an hour and a half until the bacon is crispy and the peppers are tender.
