Stuffed Jalapenos - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    12 large jalapenos
    1 cup cream cheese
    1 cup Mexican blend cheese, shredded
    4 slices bacon, thick-cut
    1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs (optional)
Preparation
    Brown up the bacon in a skillet until it reaches the desired level of crispness. Set aside and let cool.
    Cut each jalapeno in half. I would suggest using a teaspoon to scrape out the seeds and veins. The idea is not to make this a super spicy recipe, but one that a majority of people will enjoy and where the flavors meld together.
    Use a spoon to fill each jalapeno half with some cream cheese. Do not overfill the pepper.
    Finely crumble the bacon and mix with the shredded cheese.
    Mound the cheese/bacon mixture on each pepper.
    Grill over medium heat until the pepper has softened and the cheese melted. You can also smoke the peppers if you desire.
    Optional: Melt some butter, toss with the panko bread crumbs, and bake at 350 degrees until the panko is golden brown. Top each pepper before grillingwith some panko breadcrumbs for a crispy topping.
