Grilled Stuffed Jalapeno's


Ingredients:

2 lb Jalapeno's - fresh 2 -3 inches each (approx 30 count)

2 - 8 ounce pack of Cream Cheese

2 lb Bacon (may not use all)

1.5 lb Pulled Pork

Preparation Directions:

Wash, remove stems and half jalapeno's lengthwise. Only cut the stem off, don't cut the end of jalapeno off to remove the stem. Remove seeds and veins (leave veins in if you would like a hotter ABT).

Use left over pulled pork, or prepare a small shoulder (2lb) for this. Besides pulled pork you can use any meat. Hamburger, shredded bbq chicken, fish or wedges of italian sausage work well also. Cut lengths of bacon strips just long enough to wrap around jalapeno half about twice.

Fill jalapeno halfs with cream cheese, top with a small amount of pulled pork(meat) and wrap the whole thing with a peice of bacon. I usually hold bacon on top of end of jalapeno and wrap around the middle and come back up over top at other end. Hold bacon ends in place with ½ toothpick each end.

Cooking Directions:

• Get cooker at 325 deg steady. You are wanting to cook the bacon without burning up the jalapeno's. You can use a veggie holder so they can be taken on and off the grill easily.Smoking these are even better. Maple wood and Hickory work well. Allow 30 - 40 minutes for bacon to be done. Check them half way through and rearange as necessary to prevent any hot spots burning any.

Special Instructions:

• Cream cheese will not melt out unless the jalepeno is tipped over. After removing from grill let them set for about 10 minutes to let the bacon crispen up. Otherwise eat as soon as you are able to. Have a drink ready.

Cream Cheese add on:

I like to take red roasted peppers from the grill and blend in a food processor. Add lime juice and black pepper and then mix with the softend cream cheese. It gives the finished product an awesome flavor, but plain cream cheese taste goot too!

Anything with that much pork in it has to be good. :D
Hehehe! Yep!

I've eaten a similar recipe with sausage instead of pulled pork and it was terrific. I'll have to try BamaLuver's recipe with the pork, though. This just looks too good not to try.
