I usually can get the heat side down cooked, but the top part of the bacon (also where the filling is) is undercooked, and flipping them causes a huge mess. By the time they come off the grill, they're a sloppy and uneatable without a fork. How can I get the bacon to cook evenly while keeping the filling inside each piece?

I didn't cut the jalapeno peppers in half, I just cut the stems off and cored the peppers with an old peeler. I stuffed the peppers with the mixed cream cheese, chedar cheese and minced garlic.. pop in a lil smokie, wrap with bacon.....

Mmmmm, bacon
