Ingredients
- 1 cup elbow macaroni, uncooked
- 6 oz. VELVEETA, cut into ½-inch cubes
- ¼ cup milk
- 10 large fresh jalapeño peppers (3/4 lb.), cut lengthwise in half, seeded
- 10 slices OSCAR MAYER Bacon, cut crosswise in half
Instructions
- Heat grill to medium-high heat.
- Cook macaroni in medium saucepan as directed on package, omitting salt; drain. Return macaroni to pan. Add VELVEETA and milk; cook on low heat 5 min. or until VELVEETA is completely melted and mixture is well blended, stirring constantly.
- Spoon macaroni mixture into pepper halves; wrap with bacon to completely enclose filling, overlapping edges of bacon as needed. Secure with wooden toothpicks. Cover grill grate with foil. Place peppers, cut sides down, on foil.
- Grill 20 min. or until bacon is crisp and peppers are heated through, turning after 10 min. Remove and discard toothpicks before serving peppers.
- Variation

Place, cut sides up, on foil-covered baking sheet, sprayed with cooking spray. Bake 20 min. or until bacon is crisp and peppers are heated through.
- Special Extra
- Prepare using Jalapeno VELVEETA.
