take jalapeno pepper and cut them in half. take a spoon and rake out the seeds and vanes(that will take the heat out of them) stuff with cream cheese and poll bacon around them. bake for about 15-20 minutes on 350. bake just till the peppers are soft. they are so good. this is the biggest request i get from all my friends and family any time we are having a get together. enjoy

Answer 4

Crab Pizza. Spread 8oz cream cheese onto a plate (like spreading a piece of bread), cover with cocktail sauce (I prefer Heinz) and then sprinkle with canned crab meat. Serve with cracker assortment and a couple knives.
