Stuffed Jalapenos
 
I just pre-made these for tomorrows tailgate and figured I would share the recipe. These are great appetizers.

12 med-large Jalapenos
1 big container (16oz I believe) of cream cheese
1 2cup bag of sharp cheddar cheese
1/2lb of pulled pork, WITHOUT BBQ sauce
garlic powder
onion powder
bbq rub
2 tbs of bbq sauce

Mix the cream cheese, cheddar cheese, pork, and bbq sauce together in a bowl. I find that microwaving the cream cheese for about a minute to soften it up works well. Then add a couple dashes of the garlic and onion powder. Mix this all up until it's like a paste and toss in some of your favorite bbq run to season the mixture a bit.

Now cut the top and bottom off the jalapenos. Cut down one side of the jalapeno so that it opens up. Clean out the seeds and membrane and then fill it with the mixture. Repeat the process until all 12 peppers are full. Place a tooth pick through the pepper so that it holds together.

Now, if your tailgating, throw some tin foil on the grill and put the peppers with the filling side up on the foil over med-high heat for about 15 minutes until it's grilled a bit and the filling is hot, and enjoy. If your at home, put them on a cookie sheet and cook them in an oven at about 350 for 15-20 minutes and enjoy.

Awesome! :ss :ss

I'd never thought about putting pulled pork in 'em!

These have been a big hit every time I've made them. You'll likely end up with some extra filling which is good to put over bagel chips or crackers.

Sounds great! Another you might want to try is using whole pickled japs, cut in half, cleaned. Mix up some cream cheese, bacon bits and green onion (or stuff with anything you desire). No need to cook and are fantastic!

Trying to find my recipe. Basically cut the peppers in half from top to bottom. Scoop the cream cheese, cheddar cheese, fresh herbs, and bread crumbs on top and bake. That's about it, there is something else that I can't think of.

Those little guys are damn good.

I use buttermilk and crushed tortilla chips to make a great coating.

Cut 'em in half lengthwise, scoop the seeds if you're so inclined.
Boil them for a scant 2 minutes to just barely start to precook them a bit. (keeps 'em from being too crunchy and raw tasting after baking)

Fill the halves with whatever mixture you like. (I mix 1/2 sharp cheddar and 1/2 cream cheese, along with some onion and garlic powder and a little chipotle powder.)

Dip them in buttermilk, then roll lightly in flour (I actually like Soy flour, it's a little sweeter and nuttier) then back in the buttermilk and dredge them in crushed tortilla chips.

Bake at 425 for about 6 minutes, then broil them for a minute or two until they're toasted a bit.

The tortilla chip coating gives a really excellent crunchy texture.


Yummers.

These were a HUGE hit at the tailgate. To those that were contemplating making these, I highly suggest it!

Wrap 'em in bacon (ABT's!) to make them even better!

If you bake these, then yes, wrapping them in bacon will work, however if these will go from chilled to heated up on a grill fairly quick. If you use bacon, then the best way to cook them will be in an oven. I used a veggie basket and put the stuffed peppers in the veggie basktet, stuffed side up and thew them on the grill for about 10 minutes on high.

I make ABTs all the time. Here is my usual:

Wear gloves BTW...

Slice stem end off of jap
Remove seeds and veins from the inside (I use a vegetable peeler and just go around the inside)
Stuff with cream cheese
Wrap in thin sliced bacon - 1 slice per jap
Dust with Dizzy Pigs Jamaican Firewalk or Swamp Venom rub
Smoke at 230 for about three hours until the bacon is very brown

They are so good it is ridiculous.

I have also put all kinds of things inside with the cream cheese. Some are:

Chopped Little Smokey sausages
Chopped cooked shrimp
Chopped cooked crab
Pulled pork
Chopped brisket
Leftover taco meat

LOL! I just e-mailed it to my personal e-mail account so I'd have a copy for posterity.
