If you like jalapeño poppers, chances are you’re going to love this recipe. Instead of removing the top stem portion of the pepper, these jalapeños are cut horizontally for a fresh and unique presentation. After stuffing them with a mix of cream cheese, cheddar, artichokes and bacon, the peppers are cooked on a blazing grill adding a hint of smoky char flavor.
