Jalapeno Poppers of Champions

This recipe was good. I used Anaheim peppers instead of jalapenos because sometimes jalapenos are too spicy for me. I added one cup of shredded monterrey jack cheese to the cream cheese. I also used real bacon. For some crunch I crushed up some homemade tortilla chips and coated the cream cheese side of the peppers before wrapping them in bacon. I pan-fried them before putting them in the oven to get em crispy and render off some of the fat. They were good, but I will probably tweak the recipe some more next time to add more flavor. Great starter recipe though!

These are awesome! Easy to make--eating them now, and the game hasn't even started yet.

Awesome! I sprinkled a parmesan/romano blend cheese on top of the cream cheese before wrapping them in bacon. A little fresh cilantro would have been a nice addition, but my grocery store was out. Don't worry if you don' have toothpicks; I didn't use them and the bacon stayed on just fine. I wrapped the stuffed peppers in foil and grilled them over indirect heat for 10 to 15 minutes until the cheese was melted and the peppers began to darken. I finished them off with a couple of minutes under the broiler to crisp the bacon. Fanastic! They were gone in minutes. If you don't want a lot of heat, be sure to scrape out ALL of the seeds and white membrane. You can also try blanching the halved peppers in boiling water before stuffing. As for my family, bring on the heat!
