BBQ Bacon Jalapeño Poppers
Servings 12 Poppers
Fresh jalapenos are stuffed with a mixture of cheeses and seasoning and wrapped in smoky bacon and cooked on the barbecue until tender.
Ingredients
- 6 slices bacon cut in half length wise
- ½ cup spreadable cream cheese
- 6 jalapeño peppers
Optional (this is where the bbq part comes in)
- 2 tablespoons barbecue sauce
Instructions
- Slice the Jalapeños in half lengthwise, you might like to wear rubber gloves for this! (I use them for everything from handling meat to cleaning)
- Using a spoon, remove the seeds and light coloured membrane (this is where the spice is!)
- Fill each pepper with cream cheese (I put some in a Ziploc and snipped off the corner and piped it into the peppers)
- Take a long strip of bacon and wrap it around the peppers, adhere each end with a toothpick (or the bacon will unravel during baking)
- Brush each popper with a light coating of barbecue sauce
- Bake at 400°F for 18-20 minutes or grill on med-low until bacon is crisp
