If you're a fan of crispy bacon, cream cheese, and a "kick" in your bite, then this summer appetizer is calling your name! I stumbled upon this recipe on allrecipes.com. It had so many great reviews that I was texting my handsome roommate within minutes to see if he could add the ingredients to the grocery list. These tasty peppers were paired with bratwurst, grilled sweet corn, and Molson lagers for last night's dinner.
You'll Need:
4 jalapeno peppers, halved and seeded
1 package of cream cheese
8 slices of bacon
2 T Worcestershire
3 cloves of garlic (minced)
Set grill to High
Step 1:
After washing your peppers, half them lengthwise and discard the
membrane and seeds. (Note: If you love super spicy food then keep the insides intact.) I
boiled the peppers 4-5 minutes in order to take some of the heat out.
In a medium bowl, mix together cream cheese, 2 T Worcestershire, and
minced garlic.
Step 2: Spoon cream cheese mixture into each pepper. Be careful not to over-fill them like I did. Although it's hard to resist all the yummy cream cheese, your grill will become a mess.
Step 3: Using 1 piece of bacon per pepper, wrap the bacon around each pepper and secure with a tooth-pick. Add a few dashes of pepper and place assembled peppers into the freezer for 10-15 minutes.
Step 4: Grill peppers on high for 10-15 minutes, until bacon is cooked. I love my bacon crispy, so we had them on the grill for about 20 minutes.
For those who like visuals...
Hope you enjoy these tasty bites just as much as we did... Happy Grilling Season!
