Go ahead and preheat the oven to 400°F.

Be sure to put on some gloves before handling the jalapeños. Cut all the jalapeños in half lengthwise and then, using a spoon, remove the seeds and veins.

However,  if you like a bit more kick then leave some of the seeds since that is where all the heat is in a jalapeno.

Fill each jalapeño half with the cheese mixture and then wrap each piece with half a slice of bacon.
