Left 4 Dead Themed Snacks

Tonight to kick off our first recipe I will be helping you prepare 2 different finger foods for you to enjoy!

Inspired by the game Left 4 Dead





Both recipes include the most delicious quick cookin meat on the planet... BACON!

First recipe is the Bacon Boomer!

Inspired by the Boomer Zombies in game

YUMMAAY!

6.  Line cookie sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup and place stuffed boomers on sheet.

The next recipe is something with a little more kick.


"Bacon Smokers" inspired by the Smoker Zombies.  





The bacon that wraps around the jalapeno totally reminds me of the smoker tongue!

  • -  1 (16 ounce) package Cheddar cheese
  • -  6 jalapeno peppers, seeded and halved
  • - 1/4 cup Cream Cheese
  • -  12 slices bacon
  • *Optional* Latex or plastic gloves, jalapeno oils irritate skin.

Tutorial:
(Directions)

5. Broil 5 to 10 minutes, or until the bacon is evenly brown.
