BACON WRAPPED JALAPEñO POPPERS



Bacon Wrapped Jalapeño Poppers image

The all-in-one finger food for a party, our Bacon Wrapped Jalapeño Poppers are simply the best that you'll find. The filling for these peppers is ultra savory with garlic powder and Worcestershire sauce giving a mouth-smacking layer of flavor to the tang of cream cheese and the punchy sharpness of cheddar. While all of these things are mixed together and stuffed into the hollowed out halves of jalapeño peppers, the greatest upgrade for this bite-sized snack is its outer layer. Each stuffed pepper is surrounded in a band of high-quality bacon, adding a chewy and smoky exterior to an already decadent stuffed pepper. In the oven, the fat that renders from the bacon conducts heat onto the surface of the pepper, encouraging it to blister and char in places while the rest of the pepper cooks through. The end result is a tender and mildly spicy snack stuffed with a creamy filling that balances the jalapeño's heat alongside the chewy richness of delicious bacon. You can assure guests that you removed the seeds of the peppers, so they shouldn't be too hot to enjoy. Put these out alongside other snacks and watch them disappear at an alarming rate.

BACON WRAPPED STUFFED JALAPENO PEPPERS



Bacon Wrapped Stuffed Jalapeno Peppers image

This recipe is always a crowd favorite. I got the original from food network with a slight modification. You can play with the ingredients to suit your taste. Enjoy!

Provided by tasmith1

Categories     Cheese

Time 45m

Yield 6-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

12 -24 large jalapeno peppers (as large as possible)
16 ounces cream cheese, room temp. (2 packages Philadelphia works best)
4 large garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup finely chopped sun-dried tomato
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro
1/2 teaspoon coarse sea salt (to taste)
1 lb bacon
toothpick, soaked for about 15 minutes in water

Steps:

  • Mix cream cheese, garlic, sundried tomatoes, cilantro and salt until well blended. You can now set the mixture aside or even freeze for up to a couple of months in a freezer bag.
  • You'll want to wear some kitchen gloves for this step! Slice the jalapeños lengthwise, being careful not to slice them in half. Then slice at the top along the width of the pepper just about a quarter inch below the base of the stem until you cut through the core, again being careful not to cut completely through the pepper (This step will probably take some practice). Now you need to decide whether you want to keep the seed webbing for those that like it really hot, or remove them for a lot less heat. I like to do about half and half so that you can please everyone. Anyway, if removing the seeds, gently remove the core using a paring knife by spreading the pepper carefully, you may need to shake some of the remaining seeds out.
  • Separate the strips of bacon and cook in the microwave for about 5 minutes on high, just enough to give it a head start. Then pat dry with paper towels. Just to soak up some of the grease. Set it aside to cool.
  • Fill either a pastry bag or just a freezer bag (cutting one corner out), and pipe some of the filling into each pepper until full but still able to almost close the pepper.
  • Wrap each pepper with a strip of bacon then use two or three toothpicks to secure the pepper closed.
  • Place the jalapeños on a medium heat grill and cook until the bacon is crisp. you'll need to turn frequently to heat them evenly. you may even want to use foil to prevent the mess. I find that by cooking the bacon a little first and not over filling that you'll get minimal mess however.
  • Let them sit for about 5 to 10 minutes and serve them up! Don't forget which ones have the seeds!

These peppers are so addictive that if I want any for myself, I either need to make a double batch or hide some. The jalapenos are not that spicy after they are baked (I take out the seeds and white membrane), but have a wonderful flavor. -Linda Foreman, Locust Grove, Oklahoma

Tips:

  • Choose the right peppers: Look for firm, brightly colored jalapeños with smooth skin. Avoid peppers with blemishes or bruises.
  • Prep the peppers: Cut the jalapeños in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and ribs. Wear gloves when handling the peppers to avoid burning your skin. Rinse the peppers thoroughly after removing the seeds and ribs.
  • Use high-quality bacon: Thick-cut bacon will hold up better when wrapped around the peppers. Choose bacon that is not too salty or sweet.
  • Don't overcook the bacon: The bacon should be cooked until it is crispy, but not burnt. Overcooked bacon will be tough and chewy.
  • Use a toothpick or skewer to secure the bacon: This will help keep the bacon in place while cooking.
  • Bake the peppers at a high temperature: This will help to caramelize the bacon and create a crispy outer layer.
  • Serve the peppers hot or warm: These peppers are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven. You can also make them ahead of time and reheat them in the oven or microwave.
