Jalapeño poppers are a classic party appetizer that is both delicious and easy to make. They are made with hollowed-out jalapeño peppers that are stuffed with a variety of fillings, such as cheese, meat, or vegetables. One popular variation on the classic jalapeño popper is to stuff them with smoked gouda cheese. Smoked gouda is a semi-hard cheese with a nutty, slightly smoky flavor that pairs perfectly with the spicy heat of the jalapeños. When baked, the smoked gouda melts and becomes gooey, creating a delicious and satisfying appetizer that is sure to please everyone.

HICKORY SMOKED JALAPEñO POPPERS



Hickory Smoked Jalapeño Poppers image

Once you smoke a jalapeno popper, you will never grill one again. The flavor is outrageous and the bacon doesn't burn as it tends to on a grill. In addition, the cheese stays inside and doesn't ooze out like it does when grilling. Choose your flavor wood and get smoking.

Categories     Cheese Appetizers

Time 1h45m

Number Of Ingredients 5

12 jalapeno peppers
12 slice bacon
8 oz cream cheese
8 oz cheddar cheese
1-2 slice bread

Steps:

  • 1. Cut tops off of jalapenos. Using the end of a spoon or fork, stick down inside and rotate the fork. This will loosen the membranes and seeds. Then dump out the seeds. Do this a couple of times if needed. UPDATED 12/2013: Slice off a piece of pepper longways, stuff, wrap in bacon, and smoke. I find this way easier!
  • 2. Place cream cheese in a mixing bowl and turn the mixer on. Grate 8 oz of cheese then add to cream cheese. Beat for a minute or so.
  • 3. Put cheese/cream cheese mixture into jalapeno and push down inside with finger.
  • 4. Tear a small piece of bread off. I like using the heal of the bread, and place inside the top of jalapeno. This will help keep the cheese inside the pepper.
  • 5. Wrap pepper with bacon, starting by draping one end of bacon over the opening of pepper. Then bring bacon down to the tip of pepper and begin wrapping it back up to the top. Secure with a toothpick.
  • 6. Smoke on the smoker at about 200-250° for about 1- 1/2 hr.
  • 7. Timing will depend on smoker temp. The best way to tell if they are done, make a couple more than you need to serve and test one out after one hour.

Time 1h

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 -2 dozen jalapeno
8 ounces cream cheese
6 ounces smoked gouda cheese
1 tablespoon bacon bits
0.5 (8 ounce) can crushed pineapple

Steps:

  • Soften cream cheese, grate the gouda, partially drain the can of crushed pineapple and combine all with the bacon bits.
  • While that rests, cut the stem ends off 1 to 2 dozen jalapeños, depending on their size. Remove the seeds and the membrane. Using a small spoon or knife stuff each jalapeño.
  • Place the filled jalapenos in a rack and cook on the grill or in the oven at 350° for 30-45 minutes, again, depending on the size.
  • Keep some of the cheese mixture to serve with them because some of the cheese will bubble out. I use a foil bread pan and cut X's in the bottom, place upside down and press the jalapeños into each hole. Can usually get 6-8 in each. Makes cleanup easy, just throw them away after. I also have a jalapeño rack I got at a store, but the foil is way easier and will accommodate various sized jalapeños. All love these with the hot peppers and the sweetness of the pineapple. The smoked gouda is a nice touch and differs greatly from cheddar. Can also dice jalapeño to add to the cheese mix. ENJOY.

My family and friends LOVE these poppers! While the Gouda adds a nice smoky dimension, I have made with other cheeses as well...still tastes great. I spray the parchment paper with olive oil spray first. Adapted from The Food Network. Hope you enjoy!

1/2 cup cream cheese
3 tablespoons sour cream
1 tablespoon hot sauce (recommended ( Frank's Red Hot)
salt & freshly ground black pepper
12 large jalapeno peppers, stemmed, seeded and halved

  • Wear gloves when handling peppers: The capsaicin in jalapeños can irritate your skin, so it's best to wear gloves when cutting and seeding them.
  • Remove the seeds and ribs: Use a sharp knife to cut the jalapeños in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds and ribs. This will help to reduce the heat of the peppers.
  • Stuff the peppers with your favorite fillings: There are endless possibilities for fillings, so get creative! Some popular options include cheese, bacon, sausage, and vegetables.
  • Bake or fry the peppers: You can bake or fry the jalapeño poppers, depending on your preference. If you're baking them, preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the peppers are golden brown and the cheese is melted.
  • Serve with your favorite dipping sauce: Jalapeño poppers are delicious on their own, but they're even better with a dipping sauce. Some popular options include ranch dressing, blue cheese dressing, and sour cream.
