BEST EVER JALAPENO POPPERS



Best Ever Jalapeno Poppers image

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.

BREADED JALAPENO POPPERS



Breaded Jalapeno Poppers image

Best poppers I've ever eaten. These freeze very well after frying, so you can make them ahead of time for a party and just reheat them.

oil (for frying)

Steps:

  • Remember to wear some disposable gloves when working with jalapeno peppers-- and don't touch your face!

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, firm jalapeños that are deep green in color and have no blemishes.
  • Wear gloves when handling jalapeños to prevent the capsaicin from burning your skin.
  • Remove the seeds and ribs from the jalapeños to reduce the heat level.
  • Use a food processor to quickly and easily bread the jalapeños.
  • Be careful not to overcrowd the pan when frying the jalapeños, or they will not cook evenly.
  • Serve the breaded jalapeños with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch dressing, blue cheese dressing, or sour cream.
