So this is one of the recipes on Pinterest that look pretty dang good so you want to try it. I've been skeptical of Pinterest lately but this recipe was good. It would be perfect for a tailgate party or as an appetizer. I cut the recipe in half just in case they didn't turn out or they were too spicy. In the end my kids liked them and they weren't spicy at all. I ended up baking them. I found the recipe HERE. It has great photos. Better than mine of course and my cheese spread a bit but they still tasted good. I laughed when I took these photos because they look nothing like the pinterest photo:)
Ingredients
10 jalapeno peppers
10 bacon slices, cut in half
10 mini sausages or smokies (sliced lengthwise)
1 cup cream cheese
1 cup grated Monterrey jack
1 tsp chipotle powder
2 shallots, minced (I used a few shakes of dry onion flakes)
Instructions
Slice the jalapenos lengthwise. Using a spoon, remove the seeds and membrane. If using bell peppers, quarter them after they are seeded.
Mix the cream cheese, Monterrey jack, chipotle powder and minced shallots. Fill the hollowed out portion of the peppers with the cheese mixture.
Place the smokey on top of the cream cheese. Wrap the half slice of bacon around the jalapeno. If the bacon is not staying tightly wrapped, it may be necessary to use a toothpick to hold it in place.
Smoke them in the smoker, set at 225F, for 2-3 hours, or until the bacon is browned
Notes
To cook on the grill: Cook on a medium heat grill until the jalapeno is tender and the bacon is browned. Keep the lid covered while cooking. To cook in the oven: Bake them in the oven, set at 425F, for 20-30 minutes or until the bacon is browned.
