Laughing Dawg Stuffed Jalapeno Peppers Recipes

JOE'S SCREAMING STUFFED JALAPENO POPPERS

Steps:

• Preheat the grill.
• Mix each package of cream cheese with chopped garlic, sun-dried tomatoes, and a dash of chopped basil. Add a pinch of salt. Mix until mixture is soft and manageable.
• Slice each jalapeno lengthwise on 1 side, being careful not to cut the jalapeno in 1/2. Remove the seeds if you don't think your friends can handle the heat, otherwise leave'em and enjoy watching your friends shed a few extra tears. hehe... Depending on your pepper, you may have to slice around the stem of the pepper to create a manageable opening to squeeze the filling in.
• Fill either a pastry bag, or your choice of tools with the filling. Use something that will allow you to sqeeze the filling into the opening of the pepper with ease. I've used a plastic frosting tool, cookie press, and even just a small spoon to squeeze the filling in. However you choose, insert a liberal amount of filling into each jalapeno. Be careful not to overfill as the filling may spurt out during cooking.
• Wrap each pepper with 1 to 2 strips of bacon, securing the opening in the pepper. Secure the bacon with a toothpick (best to soak the toothpicks first, to prevent burning on the BBQ). This also helps the jalapenos from falling into the BBQ (you're bound to loose at least 1, oh well). Long metal or wood skewers also work well for large amounts.
• BBQ the peppers until they lightly roasted, or until the bacon is fully cooked. Use some foil to cook on if your peppers are cooking or burning too fast on a HOT BBQ.
• Serve 'em up and watch your friends squirm with delight!

STUFFED JALAPENOS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees. In a small bowl, mix together cream cheese and cheddar. Season with salt and pepper. With a small spoon, fill each jalapeno half with about 1 tablespoon cheese mixture. Place peppers on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake until cheese is browned and bubbling, about 10 minutes, rotating sheet halfway through.

LAUGHING DAWG STUFFED JALAPENO PEPPERS

Steps:

• In a two-quart sauce pan, bring one quart of water to a rolling boil.
• While it is reaching a boil, Cut a long flap in each jalapeno, starting from the shoulder and running close to the tip; this should be an elogated"V" shaped flap.
• Lift the flap and clean out the fibers and seeds (this is where most of the heat is); I use either a round-tipped peeling device or a teaspoon.
• When water reaches boiling point, immerse cleaned peppers in the water and reduce heat to medium.
• Let peppers parboil for about 10 minutes-- better that they be a little undercooked then overcooked.
• Mix the rest of the ingredients together, turning and blending until the cream cheese is well mixed into the rest of the ingredients.
• If the mixture seems too dry, add a little sour cream, pickle juice, vinegar, anything in the fridge you think might add a touch of individuality.
• Remove peppers, dump into a strainer, and run cold water over them.
• Lift the flap of each pepper and stuff the cheese mixture into the pocket; fold the flap backdown over the stuffing.
• A little overstuffing is OK.
• Place the peppers on a sprayed pan and bake at 400 degrees for about 10- 15 minutes; just until the cheese begins to melt out of the peppers.
• Remove and let cool for about 4- 5 minutes so the cheese sets up a little.
• Serve with a few crackers or tortilla chips, and your favorite beer.
• Parboiling the peppers removes a substantial portion of the raw heat, but leaves enough to give a nice burn to the mouth.

STUFFED JALAPEñO PEPPER GRILLED CHEESE

Steps:

• Prepare the jalapeño poppers according to the package directions for the oven.
• Meanwhile, put the chorizo in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring occasionally and breaking up with a wooden spoon, until just cooked through, about 5 minutes. Remove the chorizo to a medium bowl with a slotted spoon and pour the rendered fat into a small heatproof liquid measuring cup. You should have about 1/4 cup chorizo oil; if not, top with enough olive oil to reach 1/4 cup. Reserve the skillet.
• Lay the bread slices on a cutting board and brush evenly with the chorizo oil on one side. Flip 6 slices over and top each with 3 tablespoons of the cheese. Divide the chorizo and jalapeño peppers evenly among the 6 slices and finish each with 3 more tablespoons of cheese. Close the sandwiches with the remaining 6 slices of bread, chorizo-oil-side up.
• Heat the skillet over medium-low heat. Put 2 sandwiches in the skillet and press down with a large lid. Cook until lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Flip and continue cooking, covered, until the cheese is melted and the second side is browned, about 3 minutes more. Repeat with the remaining sandwiches. Use a sharp knife to slice each sandwich in half and serve.

LOADED STUFFED JALAPENO POPPERS

Steps:

• Fill a large bowl with ice and cold water and set aside. Slice a thin piece from the bottom of each pepper to stop peppers from rolling onto their sides when baking.
• Bring a large pot of water to a boil over medium-high heat. Drop each pepper carefully into the water and boil 2 minutes. Remove peppers from water and place in the bowl of ice water.
• Cook turkey sausage in a skillet over medium heat until browned, about 3 minutes. Drain excess fat. Stir in Cheddar cheese, cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, ranch-flavored seasoning, and garlic.
• Remove peppers from water and drain. Fill each pepper with sausage mixture, forming a mound. Place filled peppers on a baking sheet; place in the freezer until just frozen, about 20 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Mix bread crumbs with butter. Press into the top of the sausage filling.
• Bake in the preheated oven until bread crumbs are golden brown and cheese starts to bubble, 25 to 30 minutes.

EASY CHEESE-STUFFED JALAPENOS

Arrange on greased baking sheets. Bake until filling is warmed, 3-5 minutes.
