PIONEER WOMAN'S BBQ JALAPENO POPPERS
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 275 F. Begin by cutting the jalapenos in half lengthwise. Try to keep their stems intact. They look prettier that way. With a spoon, scrape out the seeds and light-colored membrances. Mix cream cheese, cheddar cheese and onion. Stuff each hollowed jalapeno half with the cheese mixture. Wrap the bacon slices araound each half, covering as much of the surface as you can. Be careful not to stretch the bacon too tightly around the jalapeno, as the bacon will contract as it cooks. Brush the surface of the bacon with your favorite barbecue sauce. Chutney or apricot jelly works well too! Secure the jalapenos with toothpicks and pop them in the oven for 1 hour, or until the bacon is sizzling.

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.
Tips:
- Choose fresh, firm jalapeños for the best flavor and texture.
- Wear gloves when handling jalapeños to avoid getting the capsaicin oil on your skin.
- If you don't like spicy food, you can remove the seeds and ribs from the jalapeños before stuffing them.
- Use a variety of fillings to create different flavor combinations. Some popular options include cream cheese, cheddar cheese, bacon, and shrimp.
- Make sure the jalapeños are cooked all the way through before serving. They should be soft and slightly charred.
- Serve the jalapeño poppers immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
