STUFFED JALAPENOS
A relatively easy stuffed jalapeno recipe. What's different is that the jalapenos are stuffed with bacon, but not completely wrapped in it. All of us like bacon, but wrapping the pepper in bacon has a few drawbacks: 1) You won't really taste anything besides the bacon, and 2) the bacon will probably be undercooked when the pepper is ready. This lets all the ingredients. Finally, you could certainly add a lot of different things to the pepper stuffing, but I wanted to keep the recipe simple.

Steps:
- Brown up the bacon in a skillet until it reaches the desired level of crispness. Set aside and let cool.
- Cut each jalapeno in half. I would suggest using a teaspoon to scrape out the seeds and veins. The idea is not to make this a super spicy recipe, but one that a majority of people will enjoy and where the flavors meld together.
- Use a spoon to fill each jalapeno half with some cream cheese. Do not overfill the pepper.
- Finely crumble the bacon and mix with the shredded cheese.
- Mound the cheese/bacon mixture on each pepper.
- Grill over medium heat until the pepper has softened and the cheese melted. You can also smoke the peppers if you desire.
- Optional: Melt some butter, toss with the panko bread crumbs, and bake at 350 degrees until the panko is golden brown. Top each pepper before grillingwith some panko breadcrumbs for a crispy topping.

If you love jalapenos, a Chili Grill is the perfect gadget for you. There are so many fillings you can use for stuffing these wonderful little peppers. This cornbread filling is one of my favorites. These are totally addicting.

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!

Tips:
- Choose the right peppers: Look for firm, dark green jalapeños with smooth skin. Avoid peppers with blemishes or bruises.
- Wear gloves: Jalapeños can be spicy, so it's a good idea to wear gloves when handling them. This will help protect your skin from irritation.
- Wash the peppers thoroughly: Rinse the peppers well under cold water before stuffing them. This will help remove any dirt or bacteria.
- Remove the seeds and ribs: Use a sharp knife to cut the peppers in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and ribs. This will help reduce the spiciness of the peppers.
- Stuff the peppers: Use a variety of fillings, such as cheese, meat, vegetables, or rice. Get creative and experiment with different flavors.
- Bake or fry the peppers: Once the peppers are stuffed, you can bake or fry them. Baking is a healthier option, but frying will give the peppers a crispy coating.
- Serve the peppers hot: Stuffed jalapeños are best served hot. You can garnish them with cilantro, sour cream, or guacamole.
Conclusion:
Stuffed jalapeños are a delicious and versatile appetizer that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like them mild or spicy, stuffed jalapeños are sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering. So next time you're looking for a fun and easy appetizer, give stuffed jalapeños a try!
