BBQ JALAPENO POPPERS
Notes from the book: Unless you're prepared to become instantly addicted, do NOT place two of these on your hamburger. I mean it. Don't. There will be no turning back then. For a simpler version omit the cheddar and green onion from cream cheese You can also cut sliced peaches or pineapple into small bits and press them into...

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 275. Cut jalapenos in half lengthwise, using plastic bags or rubber gloves. Try to keep the stems intact, as they look prettier that way.
- 2. With a spoon, scrape out the seeds and light colored membranes. Remember, the heat comes from the seeds and membranes so if you can handle the sizzle, leave some of them intact. In a bowl, mix the cream cheese cheddar cheese, and chopped green onion. Mix gently. You don't have to use an electric mixer, but if you want to, you can (I do, as I'm lazy)
- 3. Stuff each hollowed jalapeno half with the cheese mixture. Wrap bacon slices around each half, covering as much of the surface as possible. Be careful not to stretch the bacon too tightly around the jalapeno, as the bacon will contract as it cooks.
- 4. Brush surface of bacon with your favorite barbecue sauce. Chutney or apricot jelly works well, too. Secure jalapenos with toothpicks and pop them in the oven for an hour or til bacon is sizzling. Serve hot or room temperature and watch them disappear.
- 5. Hint: Make three times more than you need. Trust me. Poppers can be assembled up to a day ahead of time and kept in the fridge before cooking. Or, they can be fully cooked and frozen in plastic bags til you need them. Just thaw and warm up in the oven before serving.

[email protected]These poppers were easy to make and very tasty. I used a medium-heat BBQ sauce, and they had just the right amount of spice. I will definitely be making these again!

[email protected]I thought these poppers were just okay. The BBQ sauce was a bit too sweet for my taste, and the bacon was a bit overcooked. I might try making them again with a different sauce.

[email protected]I've made these poppers several times now, and they're always a crowd-pleaser. They're easy to make ahead of time, which is always a bonus.

[email protected]These poppers were a bit spicier than I expected, but they were still delicious. I would recommend using a milder variety of jalapeno if you don't like things too spicy.
