Best 8 Stuffed Jalapeno Firecrackers Recipes

JOE'S SCREAMING STUFFED JALAPENO POPPERS

Steps:

• Preheat the grill.
• Mix each package of cream cheese with chopped garlic, sun-dried tomatoes, and a dash of chopped basil. Add a pinch of salt. Mix until mixture is soft and manageable.
• Slice each jalapeno lengthwise on 1 side, being careful not to cut the jalapeno in 1/2. Remove the seeds if you don't think your friends can handle the heat, otherwise leave'em and enjoy watching your friends shed a few extra tears. hehe... Depending on your pepper, you may have to slice around the stem of the pepper to create a manageable opening to squeeze the filling in.
• Fill either a pastry bag, or your choice of tools with the filling. Use something that will allow you to sqeeze the filling into the opening of the pepper with ease. I've used a plastic frosting tool, cookie press, and even just a small spoon to squeeze the filling in. However you choose, insert a liberal amount of filling into each jalapeno. Be careful not to overfill as the filling may spurt out during cooking.
• Wrap each pepper with 1 to 2 strips of bacon, securing the opening in the pepper. Secure the bacon with a toothpick (best to soak the toothpicks first, to prevent burning on the BBQ). This also helps the jalapenos from falling into the BBQ (you're bound to loose at least 1, oh well). Long metal or wood skewers also work well for large amounts.
• BBQ the peppers until they lightly roasted, or until the bacon is fully cooked. Use some foil to cook on if your peppers are cooking or burning too fast on a HOT BBQ.
• Serve 'em up and watch your friends squirm with delight!

STUFFED JALAPEñO PEPPERS

Steps:

• cut a slit in each jalapeno pepper so that you can open it up. Remove the entire contents of the inside of the pepper. Leaving some of the placenta and seeds will result in a hotter pepper, so how much you clean on the inside is totally up to your taste. I recommend using disposable latex gloves while doing this, because failure to do so may result in unintended pains later -- particularly if you are a male :).
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• Soften the cream cheese in the microwave for about 20 seconds.
• Place the cream cheese in a bowl.
• Add the ranch dressing powder and the grated cheese to the bowl with the cream cheese. MIx well.
• Fill the jalapenos with the creame/ranch/cheese mixture.
• Trim any excess fat from the bacon, preferably with kitchen scissors.
• Wrap all of the peppers with the bacon.
• Cook at 375 degrees for about 40 minutes. Keep an eye on them, because depending on the fat in the bacon, thickness of the bacon and so on, your time will vary. This can also be put on a grill -- it will take far less time but will demand your constant attention.
• Enjoy the best stuffed jalapeños you have ever had.

STUFFED JALAPENOS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees. In a small bowl, mix together cream cheese and cheddar. Season with salt and pepper. With a small spoon, fill each jalapeno half with about 1 tablespoon cheese mixture. Place peppers on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake until cheese is browned and bubbling, about 10 minutes, rotating sheet halfway through.

EASY CHEESE-STUFFED JALAPENOS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°. Cut jalapenos in half lengthwise; remove seeds and membranes. In a large saucepan, boil peppers in water for 5-10 minutes (the longer you boil the peppers, the milder they become). Drain and rinse in cold water; set aside., In a small bowl, beat the cream cheese, cheddar cheese and Worcestershire sauce until smooth. Spoon 2 teaspoonfuls into each jalapeno; sprinkle with bacon. Arrange on greased baking sheets. Bake until filling is warmed, 3-5 minutes.

STUFFED FIRECRACKER CHICKEN ROLLS RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• In a shallow dish or large plastic bag, add the soy sauce, buffalo sauce, garlic, honey, and sweet chili sauce. After mixing, reserve half the marinade in a separate bowl for later.
• On a cutting board, slice the chicken breasts horizontally, making sure not to slice all the way through. Cover chicken breast with parchment or plastic wrap and use a mallet to flatten the chicken, about ⅓ inch (8 mm) in thickness.
• Place chicken breasts in the marinade and chill for about 2 hours or overnight.
• Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to a large pan over medium heat. Once hot, add garlic and cook until aromatic, about 30 seconds. Add the onion and bell peppers, and cook until soft.
• Remove the chicken breast from the marinade and lay flat. Spoon a layer of the onion and the bell pepper mixture across the chicken breast, then add a layer of spinach.
• Roll up chicken breast and secure with a toothpick, about 1½ inches (4 cm) apart. Cut the chicken breast in half.
• Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to a large pan over medium heat. Once hot, place chicken rolls inside the pan, cook until inside is no longer pink, about 6 minutes on each side. Remove from pan.
• Add reserved marinade to the pan and cook until caramelized, about 3 minutes.
• Serve drizzled in caramelized marinade.
• Enjoy!

STUFFED JALAPENOS

Steps:

• Preheat grill to medium.
• Wash jalapeños and cut off tops.
• Using end of vegetable peeler, scrape out seeds and membrane (NOTE: wear plastic gloves to protect hands if you are sensitive to hot peppers).
• Poke a hole in the bottom of each pepper (so it can release moisture during cooking and so it won't force the cornbread filling to boil out of the top).
• Season inside of each pepper with a little salt or creole seasoning.
• Make cornbread mix according to directions on box adding cheese and liquid smoke.
• Fill peppers to within 1/4-inch to top of pepper leaving that space for cornbread to bake and rise.
• I use a pastry bag or a Zip style bag with the end cut off to fill the peppers.
• If your peppers are small they will shrink more as they cook so stick a toothpick through the tops of them to keep them from falling through the Chili Grill® holes.
• Place them all in the Chili Grill® holder and place on preheated grill (med heat).
• Close grill cover and let them cook for about 30 minutes checking them halfway through.
• (You might have to adjust the heat to low if they are browning too quickly).
• Peppers will look shriveled and cornbread will pop up over top of peppers when done.
• Enjoy!

FIRECRACKER BURGERS

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the beef and salsa. Shape into four patties. Place a jalapeno in the center of each; wrap beef around jalapeno, forming a ball. Reshape into patties, about 3-1/2 to 4 in. in diameter and 1 in. thick. , Grill, covered, over medium-hot heat for 7-8 minutes on each side or until meat is no longer pink and a thermometer reads 160°. , Spread bun tops with guacamole. On each bun bottom, layer lettuce, a burger, salsa con queso dip, tomatoes, olives and onion; replace tops.

STUFFED JALAPEñOS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375. In a small bowl, combine the grated Cheddar cheese with the cream cheese and sour cream, and use a fork to mash and combine. Add the cilantro, salt and pepper, and mix again to combine. Spoon the mixture into a quart-size plastic freezer bag, and set aside.
• Wearing disposable latex gloves (or at any rate being very careful not to get the interiors of the jalapeños on your skin or in your eyes or nose), use a knife to split the peppers down the center, and dispose of the seeds and ribs. Rub lightly with oil, and place on a roasting pan.
• Cut a half-inch triangle from one corner of the bag with the cheese in it, and pipe the mixture into each of the jalapeños. Gently press the cheese mixture into the peppers. Roast until the peppers have softened and the cheese has just started to bubble, approximately 15 minutes. Finish over the grill, if you like.
