Stuffed Jalapenos Topped With Bacon Food

SAUSAGE STUFFED JALAPENOS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Place sausage in a skillet over medium heat, and cook until evenly brown. Drain grease.
• In a bowl, mix the sausage, cream cheese, and Parmesan cheese. Spoon about 1 tablespoon sausage mixture into each jalapeno half. Arrange stuffed halves in baking dishes.
• Bake 20 minutes in the preheated oven, until bubbly and lightly browned. Serve with Ranch dressing.

JALAPEñO POPPERS WITH BACON

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Wearing gloves, slice each of the jalapeños in half lengthwise and use a spoon to remove the seeds and veins.
• In a medium-sized bowl, combine the cream cheese, garlic powder, salt, pepper, cheddar, bacon, and green onions.
• Spoon the mixture evenly in the jalapeños and place it on a baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes or until the jalapeños are tender.

BACON WRAPPED STUFFED JALAPENO PEPPERS

Steps:

• Mix cream cheese, garlic, sundried tomatoes, cilantro and salt until well blended. You can now set the mixture aside or even freeze for up to a couple of months in a freezer bag.
• You'll want to wear some kitchen gloves for this step! Slice the jalapeños lengthwise, being careful not to slice them in half. Then slice at the top along the width of the pepper just about a quarter inch below the base of the stem until you cut through the core, again being careful not to cut completely through the pepper (This step will probably take some practice). Now you need to decide whether you want to keep the seed webbing for those that like it really hot, or remove them for a lot less heat. I like to do about half and half so that you can please everyone. Anyway, if removing the seeds, gently remove the core using a paring knife by spreading the pepper carefully, you may need to shake some of the remaining seeds out.
• Separate the strips of bacon and cook in the microwave for about 5 minutes on high, just enough to give it a head start. Then pat dry with paper towels. Just to soak up some of the grease. Set it aside to cool.
• Fill either a pastry bag or just a freezer bag (cutting one corner out), and pipe some of the filling into each pepper until full but still able to almost close the pepper.
• Wrap each pepper with a strip of bacon then use two or three toothpicks to secure the pepper closed.
• Place the jalapeños on a medium heat grill and cook until the bacon is crisp. you'll need to turn frequently to heat them evenly. you may even want to use foil to prevent the mess. I find that by cooking the bacon a little first and not over filling that you'll get minimal mess however.
• Let them sit for about 5 to 10 minutes and serve them up! Don't forget which ones have the seeds!

BAKED JALAPEñO POPPERS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit and line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper for easy clean-up. Cut off one-third of each pepper lengthwise (see photos). Use a small spoon (a serrated grapefruit spoon works great) to scoop out the seeds and membranes from each pepper, and discard those pieces.
• In a bowl, combine the cream cheese, 1/4 cup chopped cilantro and green onion, garlic powder, onion powder and salt. Stir to combine.
• Stuff the peppers with the cream cheese mixture (you might have a small amount left over). Top each of the peppers with a small mound of cheese lengthwise.
• Bake for 10 to 13 minutes, until the cheese is bubbling and starting to turn golden.
• Meanwhile, place a big handful of chips in a food processor and process until the chips are broken into tiny pieces (or, you can crush them under a rolling pin). Stir the feta, if using, and the remaining 1 tablespoon of cilantro and green onion into the chips.
• Transfer the jalapeño poppers to a large serving dish and top each pepper with the crushed chip mixture. Serve!

Set the jalapenos aside on a baking sheet with sides, cut sides up. In a large bowl, combine the cream cheese, shredded Cheddar, garlic powder, and salt until well mixed. Using a small spoon, stuff a generous amount of the cheese mixture into the jalapeno halves. You want them well stuffed but not overflowing too much or the cheese will run out when it melts. Wrap a half bacon slice around each jalapeno and secure it with a toothpick or place it on top to cover the cheese. Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake at 450 degrees F for 15-20 minutes or until the bacon is crisp and brown and the cheese is melted.

• Using a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the cream cheese, cheddar cheese, garlic, and paprika together until combined. You could also do this by hand using a rubber spatula. Salt to taste - I add just a pinch. Spoon filling equally among all 24 jalapeño halves.
• Wrap each stuffed jalapeño with a half slice of bacon and stick a toothpick through the center to assure the bacon stays in place. Place each on the baking rack and bake for 25-28 minutes or until the bacon is crisp to your liking. I like to turn the oven to broil for the last minute or two to get things extra crispy. Serve immediately. Cover leftovers and keep in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

• 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.
