CREAM CHEESE STUFFED JALAPENOS WRAPPED IN BACON



Cream Cheese Stuffed Jalapenos Wrapped in Bacon image

Delicious stuffed jalapeno recipe I got from my sister. Great for parties, especially barbecues. You can cook either in the oven or on the grill, but I prefer the grill. You can also substitute Anaheim peppers for a little less heat.

Provided by abbibaby

Categories     Cheese

Time 30m

Yield 30 peppers, 10-15 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

30 jalapeno peppers (or Anaheim peppers)
2 (16 ounce) packages bacon
16 ounces cream cheese, softened
2 cups sun-dried tomatoes, chopped (out of a jar is fine, they don't have to be fresh)
1 tablespoon garlic powder

Steps:

  • Wash and remove the seeds of the jalapenos by making a "T" cut in the jalapenos and scooping out the seeds. (A "T" cut is where you cut the pepper horizontal about half way and then in the middle of the slit, you cut a vertical slit forming a "T" cut in the pepper.).
  • In a bowl, combine cream cheese, sun dried tomatoes, and garlic powder. Using a teaspoon "stuff" the jalapeno with the cream cheese mixture.
  • Wrap jalapeno in bacon and secure with a toothpick. (If you are cooking on the grill remember to soak toothpick in water for 15 minutes before securing pepper with it, to ensure it doesn't catch fire on the grill).
  • Cook on the grill or bake at 450° F for 15 minutes or until bacon is cooked through.
  • Enjoy!

SHRIMP STUFFED JALAPENOS



Shrimp Stuffed Jalapenos image

I grow peppers in the garden and always have way to many, so these little guys are a excellent finger food.

Provided by Timothy H.

Categories     Peppers

Time 1h10m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

20 shrimp, peeled
2 slices bacon
1/4 teaspoon seasoning salt
12 large jalapenos
1/2 cup cream cheese
20 toothpicks

Steps:

  • Cut the tops off and remove the seeds of the jalapenos. Salt the peppers on the inside. Put the shrimp in head first, cram in some cream cheese in the opening around the shrimp.
  • Cut the bacon strips in quarters, place each quarter over the top of the jalapenos and put a toothpick through it to hold the bacon in place.Preheat oven to 375 or your barbecue and cook 1 hour until bacon is done.I have what they call a Chile Grill. You stick the peppers down in the hole of the Chile Grill and the filling will not run out of the pepper.
  • You can stuff these with anything from sausage,oysters,crab even groun beef.

Nutrition Facts : Calories 151, Fat 12.2, SaturatedFat 6.3, Cholesterol 72.4, Sodium 297.5, Carbohydrate 4.2, Fiber 1.2, Sugar 2.7, Protein 6.7

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Jalapeños: Select firm, deep green jalapeños with smooth skin and no blemishes. Larger jalapeños tend to be less spicy, while smaller ones pack more heat.
  • Wear Gloves: Capsaicin, the compound that gives jalapeños their heat, can irritate your skin. Wear gloves when handling and preparing jalapeños to avoid burning your hands.
  • Remove Seeds and Ribs: To reduce the heat level of your stuffed jalapeños, remove the seeds and ribs before stuffing. Use a spoon or paring knife to carefully scrape out the insides, leaving the jalapeños intact.
  • Stuffing Options: Get creative with your stuffing! Popular options include a mixture of cream cheese, cheddar cheese, and spices; ground beef or turkey with taco seasoning; or a combination of black beans, corn, and salsa. You can also add your favorite herbs, spices, and vegetables to the stuffing.
  • Baking vs. Frying: Stuffed jalapeños can be baked or fried. Baking is a healthier option, while frying gives them a crispy coating. If you're baking, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the jalapeños for 20-25 minutes, or until the filling is melted and bubbly.
  • Serve with Dipping Sauces: Stuffed jalapeños are often served with dipping sauces, such as ranch dressing, guacamole, or sour cream. You can also drizzle them with hot sauce or Sriracha for an extra kick.

Conclusion:

Stuffed jalapeños are a delicious and versatile appetizer or snack that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a variety of stuffing options and cooking methods to choose from, there's a stuffed jalapeño recipe out there for everyone. So next time you're looking for a fun and easy party food, give stuffed jalapeños a try!
