Baked Jalapeno Poppers

Need an idea for a super bowl appetizer? Look no further these jalapenos will be gone in no time. They are easy to make and everyone will be begging you for the recipe. Here's how I made them.

Ingredients:
8 Jalapenos
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup cheddar cheese
4 slices of bacon
bread crumbs 
milk
flour
cooking spray

Direction:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit
Cook the bacon and let them cool completely
Combine the cream cheese, cheddar cheese and crumble the bacon into little pieces. Mix everything together and set aside
Wash jalapenos, cut them in half and remove all seeds
Fill each half with the mixture you created
Pour some milk into a bowl
Put some flour in a small bowl
In a separate bowl, add bread crumbs
Take the filled jalapenos and drench them into the milk, then cover them with some flour and set aside
After all the jalapenos are covered in flour, take each jalapeno and cover them in milk again but this time cover them in the bread crumbs and set aside, after they are done cover them in more milk and bread crumbs
Lay them on a baking sheet and spray with cooking spray ( this will prevent the bread crumbs from over drying)
Bake for 20-25 minutes
