Texas Rockets Bacon Wrapped Stuffed Jalapenos Recipes

BACON WRAPPED CHEESY STUFFED JALAPEñOS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F (204°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper (best for clean-up) or a silicone baking mat. Place a baking rack on top of the baking sheet. Set aside.
• Cut the jalapeño peppers in half lengthwise; remove seeds and center membrane. Set aside.
• 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.

Steps:

• In a medium bowl combine the cheeses, cilantro, sundried tomatoes and corn kernels together.
• Cut jalapeno peppers lengthwise down 1 side, leaving the other side intact (creating an open book); leave the top and stem on.
• Using the handle of a spoon scrape the seeds and membranes out of the pepper. Note if you want extra spice leave some inches.
• Spoon 2 tablespoons of the cheese mixture into the cavity of each pepper.
• Wrap each pepper in bacon and secure it in place with a wooden toothpick.
• Prepare your barbecue. Place a drip pan under barbeque grates to prevent flare ups.
• Place a grill screen over the drip pan directly on top of the grill grate.
• Preheat barbeque to medium heat 325°F (160°C).
• Oil the grill grate to help prevent sticking.
• Place the stuffed peppers onto the grill plate and cook with the lid up for 15-20 minutes or until the bacon is crispy. Turn the peppers frequently for even cooking.
