Stuffed Jalapenos Cook This Not That Food

ITALIAN STUFFED JALAPENOS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and set a rack in the middle of the oven.
• Place jalapenos on a sheet tray and roast for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool. Turn broiler on medium.
• Heat the oil in a medium saute pan. Add the sausage and cook for 5 to 7 minutes. Add the onions, peppers, and garlic and cook to soften for about 5 minutes. Remove and place in a large bowl. Cool to room temperature, then add mascarpone, and Parmesan. Mix ingredients thoroughly and season with salt and pepper.
• Place approximately 1 tablespoon of mixture into each jalapeno half, and top with 1/2 teaspoon of mozzarella cheese.
• Place the sheet tray of stuffed peppers in oven and broil until mozzarella cheese melts.

STUFFED JALAPENOS

Steps:

• Soak 10 toothpicks in a small bowl of water (Soaking the toothpicks in water help prevent them from burning over the flame).
• Wash peppers.
• Make one slice on each pepper, from stem to tip.
• Seed each pepper, rinse, and pat dry.
• Stuff each pepper with a spoonful of cream cheese.
• Wrap each pepper with a 1/2 strip of bacon and secure with a wet toothpick.
• Grill for a few minutes on each side until bacon is crisp.

STUFFED JALAPENOS

Steps:

• Brown up the bacon in a skillet until it reaches the desired level of crispness. Set aside and let cool.
• Cut each jalapeno in half. I would suggest using a teaspoon to scrape out the seeds and veins. The idea is not to make this a super spicy recipe, but one that a majority of people will enjoy and where the flavors meld together.
• Use a spoon to fill each jalapeno half with some cream cheese. Do not overfill the pepper.
• Finely crumble the bacon and mix with the shredded cheese.
• Mound the cheese/bacon mixture on each pepper.
• Grill over medium heat until the pepper has softened and the cheese melted. You can also smoke the peppers if you desire.
• Optional: Melt some butter, toss with the panko bread crumbs, and bake at 350 degrees until the panko is golden brown. Top each pepper before grillingwith some panko breadcrumbs for a crispy topping.

MEXICAN STUFFED JALAPENOS

Steps:

• Cut the top off the jalapeno and deseed the pepper. Mix the ingrediants (all except little smokies) Place some of the mixture in the bottom of the jalapeno and then take 1/2 of the little smokey and put in the jalapeno then finish with rest of mixture. Place bacon on top of jalapeno holding with a toothpick. Cook until bacon no longer looks raw. You can cook these in the oven or on the grill. I use a jalapeno stand.

STUFFED JALAPEñO PEPPERS

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.
