Bacon & Jalapeno Popper Grilled Cheese Sandwiches

We grow jalapenos every year in our garden, and I am always trying to come up with new things to do with them.  Recently, I was watching The Great Food Truck Race, and there was a food truck that did vamped up grilled cheese sandwiches (Roxy's Grilled Cheese) & it just hit me - bam - right there!
