Practically everyone we have made these for has asked for the recipe so i thought I would put it on the site so i can just direct people there instead. They are so easy and a crowd pleaser!
Grilled Jalapeno Poppers
Items Needed
12 jalapeno peppers
brick of cream cheese
cajun seasoning
2 garlic cloves
12 strips of bacon
toothpicks (soaked in water for 30 minutes-hr)
How to Prepare
half all your jalapenos vertically and scrape out vein and seeds with a small spoon. Bring cream cheese to room temp or slighlty heat in microwave so it is mixable but not runny. Presh or mince your garlic into the cheese and add enough cajun seasoning to slighly color the mixture. You can add as much or as little as you like (to taste). Fill each jalapeno half with the cajun cheese mixture. Cut your bacon strips in half horizontally. Wrap the bacon around the halfed peppers so that it locks in so to speak, the cheese. Push a toothpick all the way through the pepper so that you are basically pinning the back to the pepper once wrapped around.
How to Cook
Grilled. You can place them on a grill and grill with the cheese side facing up for about 5-10 minutes grill them. You will get lots of flare ups from the bacon grease but this is fine as you want the poppers to be charred a bit giving them the taste of roasted peppers. Remove when done to your liking and enjoy!
Broiled. Basically the preparation is the same but you place them on a cooking sheet and broil in the oven for 5-7 minutes or until as done as you would like.
