Spicier, Cheesier Stuffed Jalapenos Wrapped in Bacon
Description
Looking for spicier, cheesier appetizers? These jalapeno peppers stuffed with pepper Jack cheese and wrapped in bacon will fit the bill.
Ingredients
•
12 jalapeno peppers
•
1/2 (8 ounce) package pepper Jack cheese (such as Tillamook®)
•
12 slices bacon
•
toothpicks
Directions
1
Slice caps off the jalapeno peppers; reserve. Core and seed the peppers.
2
Cut pepper Jack cheese into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Cut each slice into sticks the thickness of a pencil. Stuff jalapeno peppers with as many cheese sticks as will fit. Secure caps back on the jalapenos, using at least 2 toothpicks per pepper.
3
Wrap 1 slice bacon around each jalapeno pepper. Keep bacon secure by skewering the end on one of the toothpicks.
4
Preheat grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate. Grill jalapeno peppers, watching for flare-ups, until bacon is browned, about 20 minutes.
