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.

DEEP-FRIED STUFFED JALAPENOS



Deep-Fried Stuffed Jalapenos image

Provided by Food Network

Number Of Ingredients 10

24 large pickled jalapenos chiles
1/4 refried beans
1/4 cup chunky peanut butter
4 ounces Monterey Jack cheese, cut into 8 (1/4 by 1-inch strips)
1/2 cup yellow cornmeal
1/2 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
Corn oil, for deep-frying
8 ounces sour cream, whisked until smooth and shiny, for dipping

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.

BACON WRAPPED CHEESY STUFFED JALAPEñOS



Bacon Wrapped Cheesy Stuffed Jalapeños image

Halved jalapeños stuffed with cream cheese, shredded cheese, paprika, and garlic and wrapped up with crispy bacon. If you like spicy, you will love these!

Provided by Sally

Categories     Appetizer

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 7

12 fresh jalapeño peppers*
8 ounces cream cheese, softened to room temperature
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese*
1 clove garlic, chopped
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
12 slices bacon, cut in half
24 toothpicks

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.

CRISPY DEEP FRIED BACON

Battered and fried bacon that is even better after cooking in the oven for 7 minutes. My husband and I saw the idea of fried bacon on the travel channel where they just battered and fried it and we decided to make it. It was so good. But then we cooked in the oven and it was even better. Serve with white gravy and it is a heart attack waiting to happen but tastes so good!

JALAPEñO POPPERS



Jalapeño Poppers image

There are many delicious versions of jalapeño poppers: Some are breaded and deep-fried, others use two kinds of cheese, and another, called armadillo eggs, calls for enrobing the cheese-stuffed peppers with ground meat and bacon. These easy-baked poppers are filled with tangy cream cheese - brightened with scallions, cilantro, garlic and lime zest - then wrapped with bacon for looks, salt and crunch. For a vegetarian variation, sprinkle the stuffed jalapeños with finely crumbled tortilla chips before baking to complement the crisp-tender chiles and the molten-cheese filling.

Categories     snack, finger foods, appetizer

Time 1h

Yield 24 poppers

Number Of Ingredients 8

12 medium jalapeños (no longer than 3 inches each, about 2/3 pound total)
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
Scant 1/4 cup finely chopped cilantro
3 scallions, whites and greens parts, trimmed and very thinly sliced (about 1/4 cup)
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
1 lime, zested (about 1/2 teaspoon), optional
Kosher salt and black pepper
12 thin slices uncooked bacon (thick-cut bacon won't cook as evenly), halved crosswise

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil, then top with a wire rack.
  • Halve jalapeños lengthwise. (Do your best to halve them through their stems for added visual appeal.) Using the tip of a small spoon, scoop out and discard the seeds. Set the halved jalapeños aside.
  • In a medium bowl, stir together the cream cheese, cilantro, scallions, garlic and lime zest, if using; season generously with salt and pepper.
  • Season the inside of each halved jalapeño with salt and pepper, then fill each with about 2 teaspoons of the cream cheese mixture. (Fill until there's a slight dome on top.) Wrap each stuffed jalapeño with 1 piece of bacon, setting one tip of bacon on top of the cream cheese filling, then wrapping the bacon under and over the popper at an angle, so the bacon covers the filling on top in two layers. (The bacon will shrink as it cooks, so you want to make sure the top of the popper is well covered.) Arrange poppers evenly on the wire rack, nestling each popper between two parallel wires to keep it upright so the cream cheese doesn't spill during baking.
  • Transfer to the oven, and bake until bacon is cooked through, about 25 minutes. Broil on the rack closest to the broiler until crisp, about 2 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes, then serve warm.

Tips:

  • Choose the right jalapeños: Look for medium-sized jalapeños with smooth, unblemished skin. Avoid any that are too large or have blemishes, as these are more likely to be bitter.
  • 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 with soap and water immediately.
  • Remove the seeds and ribs from the jalapeños: This will help to reduce the heat of the jalapeños. To do this, cut the jalapeños in half lengthwise and use a spoon to scoop out the seeds and ribs.
  • Stuff the jalapeños with your favorite fillings: You can use a variety of fillings for your jalapeños, such as cheese, meat, or vegetables. Be creative and experiment with different flavors.
  • Wrap the jalapeños in bacon: This will help to keep the fillings inside the jalapeños and also add a delicious smoky flavor.
  • Cook the jalapeños until the bacon is crispy and the cheese is melted: This will usually take about 15-20 minutes. You can cook the jalapeños in the oven or on the grill.
  • Serve the jalapeños hot or cold: Jalapeños can be served hot or cold, depending on your preference. If you're serving them hot, you can drizzle them with melted butter or ranch dressing. If you're serving them cold, you can chill them in the refrigerator for a few hours before serving.

Conclusion:

Deep-fried bacon-wrapped stuffed jalapeños are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any party or gathering. With a little planning and preparation, you can have these tasty treats ready to enjoy in no time. So next time you're looking for a crowd-pleasing snack, give deep-fried bacon-wrapped stuffed jalapeños a try. You won't be disappointed!
