- Preheat an outdoor grill to medium-high heat. Preheat oven to 350ºF.

- Place a small piece of bacon over the exposed portion of the jalapeno. Tightly wrap each filled jalapeno securing the filling inside. Use a toothpick for added stability.
- Cook peppers on preheated outdoor grill and finish in a 350ºF oven if needed.
