Spicier Cheesier Stuffed Jalapenos Wrapped In Bacon Recipes

BACON-WRAPPED JALAPEñO POPPERS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Cut a slit in each chilli from top to bottom and scoop out the seeds and white pith with a teaspoon. Mash the cheeses together with some seasoning and stuff the mixture into the chillis.
• Halve each slice of bacon and wrap a piece around each chilli. Cook for 35-40 mins until the bacon is crisp. Serve with your favourite dips and beware - some of the chillies will be spicier than others!

BACON WRAPPED CHEESY STUFFED JALAPEñOS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F (204°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper (best for clean-up) or a silicone baking mat. Place a baking rack on top of the baking sheet. Set aside.
• Cut the jalapeño peppers in half lengthwise; remove seeds and center membrane. Set aside.
• Using a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the cream cheese, cheddar cheese, garlic, and paprika together until combined. You could also do this by hand using a rubber spatula. Salt to taste - I add just a pinch. Spoon filling equally among all 24 jalapeño halves.
• Wrap each stuffed jalapeño with a half slice of bacon and stick a toothpick through the center to assure the bacon stays in place. Place each on the baking rack and bake for 25-28 minutes or until the bacon is crisp to your liking. I like to turn the oven to broil for the last minute or two to get things extra crispy. Serve immediately. Cover leftovers and keep in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

SPICIER, CHEESIER STUFFED JALAPENOS WRAPPED IN BACON

Steps:

• Slice caps off the jalapeno peppers; reserve. Core and seed the peppers.
• Cut pepper Jack cheese into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Cut each slice into sticks the thickness of a pencil. Stuff jalapeno peppers with as many cheese sticks as will fit. Secure caps back on the jalapenos, using at least 2 toothpicks per pepper.
• Wrap 1 slice bacon around each jalapeno pepper. Keep bacon secure by skewering the end on one of the toothpicks.
• Preheat grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate. Grill jalapeno peppers, watching for flare-ups, until bacon is browned, about 20 minutes.

GRILLED BACON-WRAPPED JALAPENO POPPERS RECIPE

Steps:

• Remove the cream cheese from the fridge so that it starts to soften.
• Soak 12 toothpicks in a bowl with water to use later for securing the bacon.
• Wash the jalapeños, and cut the stem ends off. Cut the jalapeños in half lengthwise, then remove the seeds and ribs with your hands, or scoop out with a spoon. (Wear food-safe gloves for this step.)
• In a medium bowl, combine the cream cheese, shredded cheddar, and smoked paprika.
• Cut the bacon slices in half.
• Fill the jalapeño halves with the cheese mixture. Then, wrap the jalapeños in bacon, and secure them each with a toothpick.
• Heat up your grill, and scrape it clean. Reduce heat to medium-high.
• Place the poppers on the grill cut side up, and grill for 3 minutes. Flip them carefully, and grill for 3 to 5 more minutes, until the bacon begins to crisp, but before you start to lose any oozy cheese. Flip the poppers again, and move them to indirect heat. Reduce the grill to low, and cook the poppers for another 10 minutes.
• While the poppers finish cooking, combine the BBQ sauce and the grape jelly in a small pot. Place the pot on the grill on low heat for about 10 minutes, stirring until the mixture is simmering and smooth.
• When the poppers and sauce are ready, use a basting brush to glaze the poppers with the sauce.
• Cook the glazed poppers for another 5 minutes.
• Remove the poppers from the grill, and serve them with the remaining sauce on the side.
