Best 3 Stuffed Jalapeño Peppers Recipes

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.

LAUGHING DAWG STUFFED JALAPENO PEPPERS

Steps:

• In a two-quart sauce pan, bring one quart of water to a rolling boil.
• While it is reaching a boil, Cut a long flap in each jalapeno, starting from the shoulder and running close to the tip; this should be an elogated"V" shaped flap.
• Lift the flap and clean out the fibers and seeds (this is where most of the heat is); I use either a round-tipped peeling device or a teaspoon.
• When water reaches boiling point, immerse cleaned peppers in the water and reduce heat to medium.
• Let peppers parboil for about 10 minutes-- better that they be a little undercooked then overcooked.
• Mix the rest of the ingredients together, turning and blending until the cream cheese is well mixed into the rest of the ingredients.
• If the mixture seems too dry, add a little sour cream, pickle juice, vinegar, anything in the fridge you think might add a touch of individuality.
• Remove peppers, dump into a strainer, and run cold water over them.
• Lift the flap of each pepper and stuff the cheese mixture into the pocket; fold the flap backdown over the stuffing.
• A little overstuffing is OK.
• Place the peppers on a sprayed pan and bake at 400 degrees for about 10- 15 minutes; just until the cheese begins to melt out of the peppers.
• Remove and let cool for about 4- 5 minutes so the cheese sets up a little.
• Serve with a few crackers or tortilla chips, and your favorite beer.
• Parboiling the peppers removes a substantial portion of the raw heat, but leaves enough to give a nice burn to the mouth.
