1.Cut the tops off of each jalapeno and core out the insides. this can be done easily with a potato
    peeler (small knives work OK).
2.Use the stove (or a torch)to roast the peppers. The outside skin will crackle and burn, but don't
   worry, this is normal.
3. When all the skin is well cooked, take a knife and scrape off all of the burnt skin.
4. Carefully stuff roasted jalapenos with bacon mixture until they are packed full to the top

    on the amount of oil used.
4. Remove from oil and let cool on paper towels for 5 minutes.
5. Eat them until you feel fat and happy.

Note: Any excess batter can be dropped into the oil in heaping spoonfuls to make crispy bread
           nuggets. Or use it to bread up something else as a side dish, like Garlic

           Any Excess cheese filling can be used on bagels for a tasty snack
