Step 1

Preheat grill to medium-high (400°F to 450°F). Stir together Cheddar, cream cheese, cayenne, garlic, and salt until well blended.

Step 2

Cut a slit lengthwise in each okra pod to form a pocket, starting about 1/2 inch from top and stopping about 1/2 inch from bottom. Stuff about 1 teaspoon cheese mixture into each pod. (Use a 1/2 teaspoon measure to stuff 1/2 teaspoon of the filling in the top part of the slit and 1/2 teaspoon in the bottom part.) Wrap 1 bacon piece around each pod.

Step 3

Place poppers, bacon seam down, in a single layer on oiled grates. Grill, uncovered, turning occasionally, until bacon is browned and crisp, 8 to 10 minutes. Serve immediately.
