Frantastic Bacon Jalapeno Poppers
Hi, this is Stephanie Manley with CopyCat.com.Today I am going to show you
how to make some wonderful baked jalapenopoppers. This recipe actually
comes from a friend of mine, Fran, Fran [Caldman].Her latest blog is
Frantastic Travels. And when she was herewith me in Houston we made up
some fantastic bacon-wrapped jalapeno poppersand I'm going to show you how
to make these because they're the best I'veever had.
I'm going to start off with some fresh jalapenos.We're going to use one 8-
ounce package of cream cheese. We're alsogoing to use a little bit of
Worstershire sauce and this will give it anice little bit of zest. We're
going to use a Mexican blend of shredded cheese.We're going to use bacon
since bacon makes most things better. We'realso going to use a little bit
of Chipotle powder for a little extra kickto give these something extra.
So I'm going to go ahead and show you howto make these. Okay, so the first
thing that we need to do for these jalapenopoppers is we need to go ahead
and cut our peppers. What I'm going to dois simply going to cut the pepper
in half, and leaving the stem on. Now I'mwearing gloves. If you happen to
have them I suggest that you wear them, becausethese peppers are hot and
they'll end up in your eyes and your noseand on your face and will burn
you eventually, so I highly recommend youwear gloves if you can get them.
Now I'm scooping out the inside of the pepper;this is where the heat is.
So if you like it hotter you don't need toscoop this inside out, but I
think these peppers are pretty not anyway,and I'm going to try and scoop
out the insides so they're not unbearablyhot. Go I'll ahead and get all of
the jalapeno sliced and get them de-seeded.
So it's time to make the filling for thesewonderful jalapeno poppers, and
what I did was I put eight ounces of creamcheese in here. And that
[Inaudible 00:02:30] stick in about a cupor so of this cheese. And it
really helps to use a food processor if youhave one. It makes the texture
very [Inaudible 00:02:45] and very nice anduniform. So I highly recommend
using a food processor if you happen to haveit.
Next goes my special ingredient and that'sthe Worstershire sauce. It gives
these poppers a special little kick. And I'monly going to add a couple of
sprinkles of ground chipotle peppers and theseare actually smoked jalapeno
peppers and they offer a lot of smoke andwonderful goodness without a lot
of heat, so a couple of shakes in there. Andthen I'm simply going to pulse
this together and we're going to fill thesepeppers up.
So I have run this through the food processorand I just pulsed it a couple
of times. You can see this has a really nicetexture to it. So now I'm
going to go ahead and fill up my peppers.I'm going to just take a little
bit and just fill them to the top. I'm goingto set them to the side and
then I can get them ready for the bacon.
So now I'm going to go ahead and roll thejalapeno peppers and I'm working
with raw bacon. So when you're done with thisbe sure to wash your hands,
because you don't want to run across contaminationfrom the raw meat.
Simply go ahead and take one slice of baconand we're going to wrap it
around the jalapeno. Fran's recipe was especiallygood, because she was so
generous with the bacon, so a whole slice.And this also will help the
cheese from melting out. So go ahead and [Inaudible00:04:30] until you
have them all wrapped up. We baked these at425 degrees until they're
golden brown. So we just made our FrantasticJalapeno Poppers, so please be
