GRILLED JALAPENO POPPERS

These are delicious as appetizers or include them on your beef or chicken kabobs. The smokiness of the bacon and the smokiness of your grill's charcoal is a wonderful combination. The cheese chills out the heat of the jalapeños leaving them just slightly hot. Dip them in Ranch dressing to chill the heat even more. Cream cheese is a perfect substitute for neufchatel cheese.

Yield 24 Poppers

12 fresh jalapenos
1 (8 ounce) package neufchatel cheese or 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese
12 slices bacon

Steps:

  • Use a spoon to remove the seeds and white membranes.

  • Wrap each cheese stuffed jalapeño with a bacon slice; secure with toothpicks if you need to or slide them on skewers.
  • Grill over hot coals until the bacon is crispy and browned, turning every few minutes (stay with them and watch for flare ups from the dripping bacon fat or they will burn); grill for about 15 or 20 minutes.

Best poppers you'll have off your grill! Any left over cheese mixture makes a good spread for crackers while you're waiting.

Categories     Appetizers and Snacks     Vegetable     Jalapeno Popper Recipes

Time 1h

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 6

8 ounces cream cheese
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
1 ½ teaspoons garlic powder
1 ½ cups shredded Cheddar cheese
16 whole jalapeno peppers with stems
8 slices bacon, cut in half crosswise

Steps:

  • Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat, and lightly oil the grate.
  • Mix together the cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and Cheddar cheese in a bowl until the mixture is thoroughly blended.
  • Lay a jalapeno pepper onto a work surface, and cut a lengthwise sliver from the side of the pepper, exposing the seeds and white membrane. With the handle of a teaspoon, scrape out the seeds and membrane, leaving the hollow pepper. Repeat for the rest of the peppers. Chop up the pepper slices, and mix into the cheese stuffing. Stuff each pepper with cheese mixture, and wrap each stuffed pepper in a half bacon slice. Secure with toothpicks.
  • Grill the poppers on a less-hot part of the grill until the peppers are hot and juicy and the bacon is browned, 30 to 40 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right peppers: Look for firm, unblemished peppers that are about 2-3 inches long. Avoid peppers that have soft spots or bruises.
  • Cut the peppers in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and ribs. Be careful not to cut too deeply into the flesh of the peppers, or they will fall apart on the grill.
  • Stuff the peppers with your desired filling. Some popular fillings include cream cheese, cheddar cheese, bacon, and ground beef. You can also add spices, herbs, or other flavorings to your filling.
  • Wrap the stuffed peppers in bacon. This will help to keep them moist and prevent them from falling apart on the grill.
  • Grill the peppers over medium heat for 15-20 minutes, or until the bacon is cooked and the peppers are tender. Be sure to turn the peppers occasionally so that they cook evenly.
  • Serve the peppers immediately, topped with your favorite sauce or dip.

Conclusion:

Grilled jalapeño poppers are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. With a little planning and preparation, you can have these tasty treats ready to enjoy in no time.
