Ingredients: 25 medium jalapeno peppers; 1 ( 8 oz. ) pkg cream cheese, softened; 3 cups ( 12 oz. ) shredded Cheddar cheese; 1 ½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce; 4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled

I have found that 12-14 peppers works best for gatherings. Use the same amount of cream cheese, only 1 cup shredded cheddar, no Worcestershire and same amount of bacon. MIX together with hands for best results.
