Provided by El Bistro

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 1h10m

Yield 10 Jalapeños, 3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

10 large jalapeno peppers, with stems
1 (8 ounce) package Philadelphia Cream Cheese
3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 ounce hidden valley ranch dressing mix
1 (12 ounce) package bacon

Steps:

  • cut a slit in each jalapeno pepper so that you can open it up. Remove the entire contents of the inside of the pepper. Leaving some of the placenta and seeds will result in a hotter pepper, so how much you clean on the inside is totally up to your taste. I recommend using disposable latex gloves while doing this, because failure to do so may result in unintended pains later -- particularly if you are a male :).
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  • Soften the cream cheese in the microwave for about 20 seconds.
  • Place the cream cheese in a bowl.
  • Add the ranch dressing powder and the grated cheese to the bowl with the cream cheese. MIx well.
  • Fill the jalapenos with the creame/ranch/cheese mixture.
  • Trim any excess fat from the bacon, preferably with kitchen scissors.
  • Wrap all of the peppers with the bacon.
  • Cook at 375 degrees for about 40 minutes. Keep an eye on them, because depending on the fat in the bacon, thickness of the bacon and so on, your time will vary. This can also be put on a grill -- it will take far less time but will demand your constant attention.
  • Enjoy the best stuffed jalapeños you have ever had.

Time 20m

Yield 12 pieces, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

12 jalapenos (straighter are easier to work with)
3 ounces cheddar cheese (block or shredded)
6 bacon pieces
12 toothpicks

Steps:

  • I'm using this great grill rack I bought from Sur La Table. It basically just a stand for the peppers so you dont have to slice them in half longways and lets you make a whole stuffed pepper. It also comes with a really interesting tool to gut the jalapenos.
  • pre-heat oven to 400.
  • Cut stems off all Jalapenos and gut them of seeds.
  • Cut Cheddar Cheese into 12 "sticks" that you can shove into the jalapenos.
  • Cut 6 Bacon strips in half.
  • Stuff cheese stick into jalapeno.
  • Wrap pepper with bacon and "pin" it pepper using tooth picks.
  • Place peppers on grill rack and bake for 15 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right peppers: Look for large, firm, and deep green jalapeño peppers. Avoid small or misshapen peppers, as they are more likely to be bitter.
  • Wear gloves when handling jalapeños: The capsaicin in jalapeños can irritate your skin, so it's best 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 peppers: This will help to reduce the heat of the peppers. To do this, use a sharp knife to cut the peppers in half lengthwise. Then, use a spoon to scoop out the seeds and ribs.
  • Stuff the peppers with your favorite filling: There are many different fillings that you can use to stuff jalapeño peppers. Some popular options include cheese, cream cheese, ground beef, and sausage. You can also add other ingredients to your filling, such as vegetables, herbs, and spices.
  • Bake the peppers until they are tender: The baking time will vary depending on the size of the peppers and the filling that you are using. Generally, you should bake the peppers for 20-30 minutes, or until they are tender.

Conclusion:

Stuffed jalapeño peppers are a delicious and versatile appetizer or snack. They can be made with a variety of fillings, so you can easily customize them to your own taste. Next time you're looking for a party appetizer or a quick and easy snack, give stuffed jalapeño peppers a try. You won't be disappointed!
