  • Step 2

    Place the cream cheese in a bowl, and mix in the garlic, sun-dried tomatoes, basil, and salt until evenly blended.

  • Step 3

    Make one slit from end to end in the side of each jalapeno pepper, and scoop out the seeds. Spoon the cream cheese mixture into the center of each pepper. Wrap 1 piece of bacon around each pepper, and secure with a toothpick.

  • Step 4

    Place the peppers onto the preheated grill, and cook until peppers begin to soften, about 10 minutes.

  • Cook's Tip

    You can also roast the jalapeno peppers in a preheated 350 degree F (175 degree C) oven for 15 to 20 minutes until the peppers begin to soften. To crisp the bacon, broil the peppers for 1 to 2 minutes.
