DEEP-FRIED STUFFED JALAPENOS

Steps:
- Cut a short slit in the side of each jalapeno. Carefully scrape out as many seeds as possible, but avoid tearing or enlarging the slit. Stuff each of 8 jalapenos with about 1 teaspoon of refried beans. Stuff 8 more jalapenos with about 1 teaspoon peanut butter each. (The capacity of individual chiles will vary, but they should not be so full that the slits gape open.) Insert 1 strip of cheese into each of the 8 remaining chiles. On a plate, mix together the cornmeal, flour, and salt. In a small bowl, thoroughly whisk the eggs. One at a time, dip the jalapenos into the beaten egg and then roll them in the cornmeal mixture until well coated. Let the jalapenos stand on a rack for 30 minutes to firm the coating. In a deep fryer or in a wide, deep pan fitted with a deep-fry thermometer, heat about 4 inches of corn oil (the fryer or pan should be no more than half full) to 375 degrees. Working in batches and using a slotted spoon, lower the jalapenos into the hot oil. Fry, turning the chiles gently, until they are just crisp and golden, about 4 minutes. (Overcooking the chiles may cause the fillings to boil away.) With the slotted spoon, transfer the fried jalapenos to absorbent paper. Keep the chiles warm in a 250 degree oven until all have been fried. Serve them hot or warm, accompanied by sour cream for dipping.

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 JALAPEñOS
As a game-day snack, they cannot be beat. Stuffed jalapeños, filled with Cheddar and cream cheese and run through with cilantro, are roasted to sweet intensity in the oven and finished under the broiler or in the dying light of a grill's fire. Consume with beer in advance of a plate of chicken wings, or a nap.

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.

BEST EVER STUFFED JALAPENOS
This recipe was given to me by a dear friend and we love these things. They are great appetizers and it seems you can never have too many. The stuffing will be good for about a week before stuffing the peppers. It really gets better as it sits. I use Faro brand mild jalapenos, but use whatever your taste buds can stand.

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 jalapeños: Use large, firm jalapeños with smooth skin. Avoid any that have blemishes or soft spots.
- Wear gloves when handling jalapeños: The capsaicin in jalapeños can irritate your skin. Wear gloves to protect your hands when cutting and handling them.
- Remove the seeds and ribs to reduce the heat: If you want your stuffed jalapeños to be less spicy, remove the seeds and ribs before stuffing them.
- Use a variety of fillings: There are endless possibilities for fillings, so get creative! Some popular options include cream cheese, cheddar cheese, bacon, sausage, and shrimp.
- Bake or fry your stuffed jalapeños: Baked stuffed jalapeños are a healthier option, while fried stuffed jalapeños are more indulgent. Choose the cooking method that you prefer.
