TAYLOR'S JALAPENO POPPERS
If you own a barbecue joint like I do, you pretty much dream about barbecue in your sleep. Jalapeno poppers are also one of my favorite appetizers, and this recipe is a great way to combine those foods. They're very popular on the menu at my restaurant. Try your own variation by stuffing the peppers with cooked chicken or beef. -Taylor Hicks, Birmingham, Alabama

BEST EVER JALAPENO POPPERS
This is a recipe I made by taking the best of three or four popper recipes and combining them to make something that tastes wonderful. A frequent request at my house, and at others. I usually make 100 and put them in the fridge. They don't last long. Adjust the amount of bacon bits and type of shredded cheese to taste. Increase the recipe as necessary! Lots of tests helps to best figure out the way you like it. Be sure to wear rubber gloves while seeding the jalapenos -- they will burn.

Steps:
- In a medium bowl, mix the cream cheese, Cheddar cheese and bacon bits. Spoon this mixture into the jalapeno pepper halves.
- Put the milk and flour into two separate small bowls. Dip the stuffed jalapenos first into the milk then into the flour, making sure they are well coated with each. Allow the coated jalapenos to dry for about 10 minutes.
- Dip the jalapenos in milk again and roll them through the breadcrumbs. Allow them to dry, then repeat to ensure the entire surface of the jalapeno is coated.
- In a medium skillet, heat the oil to 365 degrees F ( 180 degrees C). Deep fry the coated jalapenos 2 to 3 minutes each, until golden brown. Remove and let drain on a paper towel.

Tips:
- Choose the right jalapeños: Look for firm, plump jalapeños with smooth skin. Avoid any that are bruised or have blemishes.
- Wear gloves when handling jalapeños: The capsaicin in jalapeños can irritate your skin, so it's important to wear gloves when handling them. If you do get capsaicin on your skin, wash it off immediately with soap and water.
- Remove the seeds and ribs: To reduce the heat of the jalapeños, you can remove the seeds and ribs. Use a sharp knife to cut the jalapeños in half lengthwise and then scrape out the seeds and ribs with a spoon.
- Stuff the jalapeños: You can stuff the jalapeños with a variety of fillings, such as cheese, meat, or vegetables. Be creative and experiment with different flavors.
- Bread the jalapeños: To give the jalapeños a crispy coating, you can bread them before frying. Dip the jalapeños in flour, then egg, and then breadcrumbs.
- Fry the jalapeños: Fry the jalapeños in hot oil until they are golden brown and crispy. Be careful not to overcrowd the pan, or the jalapeños will not cook evenly.
- Serve the jalapeños: Serve the jalapeños immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
