Grilled Bacon Wrapped Jalapeno Poppers Recipes

GRILLED JALAPENO POPPERS

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat, and lightly oil the grate.
• Mix together the cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and Cheddar cheese in a bowl until the mixture is thoroughly blended.
• Lay a jalapeno pepper onto a work surface, and cut a lengthwise sliver from the side of the pepper, exposing the seeds and white membrane. With the handle of a teaspoon, scrape out the seeds and membrane, leaving the hollow pepper. Repeat for the rest of the peppers. Chop up the pepper slices, and mix into the cheese stuffing. Stuff each pepper with cheese mixture, and wrap each stuffed pepper in a half bacon slice. Secure with toothpicks.
• Grill the poppers on a less-hot part of the grill until the peppers are hot and juicy and the bacon is browned, 30 to 40 minutes.

GRILLED BACON-WRAPPED JALAPENO POPPERS RECIPE

Steps:

• Remove the cream cheese from the fridge so that it starts to soften.
• Soak 12 toothpicks in a bowl with water to use later for securing the bacon.
• Wash the jalapeños, and cut the stem ends off. Cut the jalapeños in half lengthwise, then remove the seeds and ribs with your hands, or scoop out with a spoon. (Wear food-safe gloves for this step.)
• In a medium bowl, combine the cream cheese, shredded cheddar, and smoked paprika.
• Cut the bacon slices in half.
• Fill the jalapeño halves with the cheese mixture. Then, wrap the jalapeños in bacon, and secure them each with a toothpick.
• Heat up your grill, and scrape it clean. Reduce heat to medium-high.
• Place the poppers on the grill cut side up, and grill for 3 minutes. Flip them carefully, and grill for 3 to 5 more minutes, until the bacon begins to crisp, but before you start to lose any oozy cheese. Flip the poppers again, and move them to indirect heat. Reduce the grill to low, and cook the poppers for another 10 minutes.
• While the poppers finish cooking, combine the BBQ sauce and the grape jelly in a small pot. Place the pot on the grill on low heat for about 10 minutes, stirring until the mixture is simmering and smooth.
• When the poppers and sauce are ready, use a basting brush to glaze the poppers with the sauce.
• Cook the glazed poppers for another 5 minutes.
• Remove the poppers from the grill, and serve them with the remaining sauce on the side.
