Grilled Okra

Mix cream cheese, garlic powder and jalapenos in a medium-sized bowl and set aside.

Wash and cut your okra in half lengthwise. Carefully remove the inside membrane and seeds, keeping the two halves side by side because you’re going to put them together in a minute. Fill the halves of your okra with cream cheese mixture. Place your halves together, wrap 1/2 of a slice of bacon around the okra and secure with a toothpick. Try to cover as much of the okra as you can with the bacon. Set them on a tray while you preheat your grill to medium heat.

Grill for 6-10 minutes, turning often. Watch carefully and don’t let your bacon burn. Some of your cream cheese will escape but don’t worry. When done remove the okra to a try and let it cool. Pull out the toothpicks and enjoy.
