| | Easy stuffed jalepenosPage 1 of 1 | I figured this out after experimenting for a while. You'll need jalepeno peppers, your choice of cheese, bacon, toothpicks, and skewers.
Cut the caps off the peppers and set aside. Core the peppers with a paring knife. Stuff them with your choice of room temperature cheese. I find a mix of bits of cheddar and muenster works nicely. Use a toothpick to skewer the caps back on. Wrap each pepper in half a slice of bacon, fastening with toothpicks. Skewer the peppers near the tops, like kebabs, so that they hang point downward, not touching. Place the loaded skewers across an oven safe pan so that the bacon fat has someplace to drip. Bake in 350 oven about 30 minutes, or until the bacon is crisp Allow to cool slightly, remove skewers and toothpicks, and serve.
I save the bacon drippings to use as fat in other dishes. Yum!
You can also cook them on the grill if you part the coals like the Red Sea and place the skewers so that the peppers hang down in the valley. (They're best that way, in fact!) The trick is to keep the peppers cap-up so the cheese doesn't melt and fall out. Watch them carefully so that they don't burn. | |

The cream cheese tones down the heat of the jalapenos quite abit. | |

| Easy stuffed jalepenos Posted: 10/4/2009 2:37:20 PM | | I even make these in my george foreman grill...It drains the fat to make this a less fattening dish... | |
|
| Easy stuffed jalepenos Posted: 10/5/2009 7:18:39 AM | | I just split them in half, take out all the ribs and seeds, stuff them with a cream chesse mixture with some seasonings, roll them in an egg wash/bread crumbs and fry them up. Omg, so good! | |

| Easy stuffed jalepenos Posted: 10/7/2009 7:12:24 PM | I love them with the cream cheese stuffing and make a killer cranberry dipping sauce. spicy, sweet , creamy, fruity. | |

| Easy stuffed jalepenos Posted: 12/16/2009 3:14:04 PM | Night before last I made lowfat/low calorie stuffed jalapenos. I think they had about 20 calories each. Now of course they aren't quite as tasty as the high fat/high calorie version but these were dang good!
1 lb jalapenos 8 oz fat free cream cheese package of turkey bacon garlic salt toothpicks soaked in water 15 min
Remove stem and cut the jalapenos in 1/2 lengthwise and remove seeds. Fill 1/2 of the jalapeno with some of the cream cheese. Sprinkle on some garlic salt. Wrap with 1/2 slice of turkey bacon and skewer with toothpick to hold the bacon on. Place on nonstick cookie sheet and bake in 350 degrees oven for 30 minutes. Yum! | |

| Easy stuffed jalepenos Posted: 3/13/2010 12:39:33 AM | | Re message # 3 and 6 Thanks TB. My feelings did get kind of hurt that someone would call me a troll. I guess it's a good thing I didn't see that back when it was written given how fragile life had made me at that point. | |

| Easy stuffed jalepenos Posted: 3/13/2010 2:07:22 AM | | I made these for super bowl, stuffed with cream cheese then wrapped in bacon..I was really suprised when I saw the kids eating them, and then when I tried one, there was NO heat at all!! I mean NONE!!..I was puzzled and thought maybe Id bought some other kind of pepper besides jalepenos..but when I was back at the store again, I checked, and nope it was jalepenos..I bought a couple more for another recipe and they were hot as fire! So...it is true...the cream cheese takes most of the fire out and in my case it took it all...lol | |

| Easy stuffed jalepenos Posted: 3/13/2010 1:30:33 PM | No the cream cheese doesn't take the heat out of jalapeno's sometimes they are just hotter | |
|
| Easy stuffed jalapenos Posted: 3/13/2010 2:34:01 PM | Thinkingmansgirl, maybe your store had put out more jalapenos by the time you returned and the new batch was a different variety. The Tam jalapeno looks just like any other jalapeno, but has almost no heat. Maybe that's what you got the first time, I find them in my market sometimes.

yep . I've grown serranos that were noticeably hotter or milder than others off of the same bush . Water schedule/rainfall matters close to picking as does sunny days vs. overcast .
TB is right also about which variety .
I can see a good recipe here with creamcheese/pineapple and bacon or ham in there amongst it . | |

| Easy stuffed jalepenos Posted: 3/14/2010 5:45:52 AM | | They would have to be awfully mild for me to try them, but I have friends who love jalapenos so they would love them. | |
|
| Easy stuffed jalepenos Posted: 3/18/2010 6:49:26 AM | | I made these last weekend, OMG they are so good!! I even took a couple to work and ate them cold, still hot and taste great. | |

Printed out your recipe and going to try it, sounds so good! | |

| Easy stuffed jalepenos Posted: 7/30/2011 6:00:40 PM | The jalapeno poppers have come a long way with different fillings. Add the cheese (creamed to cheddar to Monterey a shrimp or crab n wrap those babies with bacon.. or dip them n bake or fry them. Depending on the batter U use. U can stuff them with choroizo or poultry also.
The stem-membranes n seeds make the peppers hotter -depending on the time of year n how much water they were grown in.
The Anaheims stuffed n dipped into batter or wrapped with bacon are good also. Nice thing about them -not as hot unless using pepper Jack cheese or adding serrano's diced into the cheese. | |
|
| Easy stuffed jalepenos Posted: 7/31/2011 4:48:10 AM | I just cant bring myself to do it, the seeds are the hot part of the pepper - leave em in ! I usually just roast them over the spit on the girl, skewered and turned until a blackish brown, then dip in a Caso cheese dip, all the fire, minimal prep. I will have to try the bacon trick, never one to refuse BACON | |
|
| Easy stuffed jalepenos Posted: 11/21/2011 9:11:07 AM | ^^^ Not one for spell check but that's kinda funny.. on the girl... HA..
I love this recipe and will have to try it. I love peppers of all kind and cheese with bacon?..omg.. how can that be wrong???
YUM! | |
|
| Easy stuffed jalepenos Posted: 11/21/2011 10:03:01 AM | I did some a while back with jalapenos fresh from the farm. OMG!! You wanna talk about buring hot! Burned goin in an out! I know, tmi, tmi! lol
I stuffed mine with cream cheese flavored with chives and bacon wrapped those babies. Hot as they were I couldn't help but eat them all! | |
|
| Easy stuffed jalepenos Posted: 11/21/2011 11:04:03 AM | stuff them also with cut up shrimp or crab mixed with shredded cheeses n cream cheese mixed with garlic granular -salt n pepper n wrap them with the bacon.
stuff with sausage n cheese .
Avacodo mashed -with cream cheese n cheddar cheese mixed -salt pepper n tiny bit of lime juice mix all together n stuff them.
the lists go on n on. Place them in those jalapeno holders now that stand the jalapeno's up. Those are great to use in oven -grill or smokers. | |
