Bob's Jalapeno Poppers24 fresh jalapenos, top cut off and seeds/veins removed, 1/2 cup soy sauce, 2 TBSP brown sugar, 5 oz. can whole water chestnuts, 1-1/2 pkg cream or neufachel cheese, 1 lb bacon, slices cut in half
Open and drain can of water chestnuts. Mix soy sauce & brown sugar well, dump chestnuts in and marinate 4-8 hours. After cleaning jalapenos, spoon 1-2 tsp of cheese in each, shove in a marinated water chestnut, then top with more cream cheese. Wrap each with 1/2 slice of bacon, stand up in popper rack (really helps if you have one...i borrowed Bob's). Bake at 350 degrees for 45-60 minutes, till bacon looks well cooked.
I don't claim to be a popper expert, but I've tasted a few in my time...these are the best I've had. You can also grill them if you want, be very careful not to burn with the bacon dripping onto the coals.
