The Only Jalapeno Poppers You'll Ever Need + Chilihead Tip!

[@whysix3417]

I put the 2 halves back together, then wrap in bacon. So I can flip them over on the grill to get the bacon nicely finished all the way around without the insides oozing out. Great video, definitely got some new ideas of how to do them.

[@christimichaels202]

Of course! That is such a perfect solution! And mighty delicious to boot!! :-)

[@richsellskc]

poppers with cheese like these. then season accordingly.... da-bomb!

[@GreenWitch1]

I haven’t had them in years, but I love them! I used to order them at a restaurant & they came with a raspberry dipping sauce. OMG! The perfect marriage of flavors!!

[@pennyclegg7728]

Yummo! Bacon, bacon absolutely!

[@lisareaume3857]

I LIKE BACON "IN" and then "WRAPPED". YUMMY! I am binge watching you today to add some of your wonderful recipes to my "Lisa's Favorite Recipe's" cookbook. Now,when the power goes out,I will have your recipes at hand!

[@ChiliPepperMadness]

Sounds great!

[@Rick-the-Swift]

I do them like this sometimes, but sometimes I also like to add either corn meal or bread crumbs, and/or a bit of beaten eggs to the cheese mix. It helps them be more "filling", as well as keeping the cheese from oozing down to the bottom of your grill. Thanks for this appetizing video, and can't wait till my garden has a nice pepper harvest!!

[@ChiliPepperMadness]

I bet that's exciting! You are welcome and enjoy! =)

[@murielrobin7011]

Thank you for the idea of adding back in the insides to create a bigger spicy bite! We tend to use those pickled jalapenos in a can, instead of raw, for added depth of flavor. But I do all of what you do for the BEST poppers. You have to season the cheese mixture and bacon is a MUST! Great video, thanks!

[@ChiliPepperMadness]

Thanks, Muriel!

[@seanelgin]

I've discovered I like my poppers with a softer skin on the jalapeno. I'll actually blanch the jalapenos by boiling them in water for about 8 minutes. My other peeve is when the cream cheese oozes out. I solved that last time by using a muffin tin to keep the jalapenos more or less upright (I core them whole and use a pastry bag to inject the cream cheese). At one time I had bought a special rack to hold the jalapenos upright on Amazon, but that got lost a while back. I love your idea of adding back in some of the pith and seeds to add spiciness.

[@northerngal13]

Team Bacon wrapped. My 👂’s perked up when you said “chorizo”. Can’t wait to try it. Meanwhile, I have spicy Italian sausage on hand. 😋 I’ll be using my air fryer for this one. Thanks for the variations. ☮️🙏🏽

[@ChiliPepperMadness]

You are very welcome. Enjoy!

[@dartagnantaft5918]

Can't believe I've never thought about adding a seasoning to the cheese great tip thank you

It's so good!

[@sallycoil2967]

Bacon for sure. Thanks for sharing😊

[@ChiliPepperMadness]

You are very welcome!

[@ericwatling159]

Always team bacon! I smoke mine on the offset. They turn out awesome! I will definitely use this for the next time. Great video!

[@ChiliPepperMadness]

Thanks, Eric!

[@davidledoux1736]

". . . because, more bacon equals -- Y E S S." @5:31 Heck yeah!!! Bacon makes everything better. Thanks for another great addition, Mike. I like to add either crumbled bacon or sausage to the mix with a little cheddar for some good color. I have GOT to try the chorizo, now that you mention it. I love that stuff! I also appreciate the little tip about adding in a simple mix of spices (chili powder/garlic/cumin in this case) . . . will start incorporating some of that in the very near future. I always enjoy your videos. Keep 'em comin'!!!

[@ChiliPepperMadness]

Awesome! Definitely happy to help. Cheers!

[@mikemike7688]

I add a slice of chicken on top of the cream cheese before I wrap it with bacon. But I make mine about the same. It’s a family favorite and a labor of love.

[@ChiliPepperMadness]

Yummo!

[@JoeDeLaRosa-s9k]

I like to add crab meat to my mix with the cream cheese & I add Tony's seasoning

[@ChiliPepperMadness]

I like it!

[@shermanhofacker4428]

I make a slit down the side, pull seeds out (leaving the membranes), stuff with filling, then use wood tooth picks to hold the slit closed before grilling or baking. Sometimes I dip them in batter and deep fry for extra yummy!

[@ChiliPepperMadness]

Yummo!

[@grizzle3206]

We love to throw some crumbled blue cheese on top. Yummy

[@ChiliPepperMadness]

Delicious!

[@EEE80]

Looks so good!! 🙂

[@ChiliPepperMadness]

Thank you 😋

[@4seasonsbbq]

I love makin these. You do them very similar to the way I make them. I also put the seeds and pith back in the cheese. I like mine pretty spicy, so before I wrap them with bacon, I give them a good dusting of Reaper or Scorpion powder. I've watched a bunch of your videos today and enjoy them. New subscriber here. 👍👍

[@ChiliPepperMadness]

Reaper or Scorpion powder! You are a true chilihead. I love it. =)

[@joaniemarjoriemarriott342]

I hope the pepper pith can be frozen in small batches for use in other recipes ... I am thinking of pork or chicken casseroles I see that you have provided some suggestions,

[@ChiliPepperMadness]

Yes, you can freeze it. Absolutely.

[@ChiliPepperMadness]

Thanks! You can freeze these, yes. Pretty easy to reheat in the oven to enjoy again.

[@RichDoes..]

for bacon as thick as you are using, I usually drag a knife backwards to stretch it out and make it thinner, the bacon cooks much quicker that way.

[@ChiliPepperMadness]

Good one!

[@ChiliPepperMadness]

Thanks. I do! I linked to Armadillo Eggs at the end of the video. See: www.chilipeppermadness.com/chili-pepper-recipes/appetizers/cheesy-armadillo-eggs/

[@Numenor7]

Looks great! Need some onion powder in the filling though

[@ChiliPepperMadness]

Go for it!

[@frankfavorito2280]

First time watching your videos. Well edited and well spoken. Can't stand somebody that says like like like all the time. The recipe looks great. Have you ever smoked the cream cheese ahead of time?

[@ChiliPepperMadness]

Well, smoking cream cheese ahead of time definitely infuses the poppers with that smokiness. So yeah - give it a try if you'd like to!

[@mikemike7688]

Before you cook them. Add some smoke paprika on the top. So good😊

[@ChiliPepperMadness]

Go for it!

[@ray7419]

Those look amazingly delicious Mike!! Btw, I tried a new to me hot sauce and have been addicted to it. Have you tried Marie Sharp’s Black Truffle hot sauce yet?? It is great with the truffle funk taste. Try it and see if you want to make your own. 😊👍

[@ChiliPepperMadness]

Thanks! Yep, I've tried it. Not bad! I haven't made a homemade version, though. I think it would be pretty easy with truffle oil. Curious!

[@ChiliPepperMadness]

Are you Team BACON or NO BACON on your Poppers? 🥓🥓🥓🥓

[@mackmckenzie8479]

Bacon 🥓 baby bacon 😊

[@ronaldyeater3322]

Mike, bro had me at bacon,👍, I usually blanch them a bit, don't remove inside but like what did, I'm gonna try that, when say spicy chili powder do you mean there's a hot? You made me laugh with bacon, I'm gonna add bacon to mix like usual, but also wrap👍, always thought bacon in the cheese was enough now I'm ashamed to think that🤣😂, I've done leftover pulled pork, and cheese steak, now have to try chorizo 🤤, grill is best, can freeze a dozen and send to me🎃, I'm gonna wrap also from now on, saw the episodes on screen will check, but have to get menemen going then work🥵, tyvm tc Oh, one time had gorgonzola, mozzarella and roasted chicken left and stuffed poblanos if that counts lol. Just mixed hot sauce and ranch for quick dipping. Man just had idea. But gotta take pan off😂🤣

[@irenewaldron9802]

How can you make these and freeze them for later use. I have 4 jalapeño plants and want to make poppers and freeze them.

[@ChiliPepperMadness]

I have a post on that here: www.chilipeppermadness.com/cooking-with-chili-peppers/freezing-stuffed-peppers/

[@les4767]

If you don't have a grill, what temp/time do you use to oven cook these?

[@ChiliPepperMadness]

Bake in the 350 degrees F. Bake them for 20-30 minutes, or until the peppers soften and the bacon is starting to crisp. I have a post here you can review: www.chilipeppermadness.com/recipes/bacon-wrapped-jalapeno-poppers/

@@ChiliPepperMadness Yeah i like the air fryer because it cooks the bacon all the way through. I like my bacon crispy and almost burnt. Have tried them in the oven and the bacon comes out chewy and raw on the inside.

If you're working with hot peppers, keep your hands away from your face, especially your eyes. Also, if you're sauteing hot peppers, use the oven fan.

[@ChiliPepperMadness]

Great tips - check out my posts for more!

[@RichDoes..]

lol... put the frikkin bowl closer to your chopped chilli fella!

[@richj011]

Use the tip of the spoon to core out the peppers. And don't touch your eyes or genitals lol

[@dontonysgarage4730]

I use a grapefruit spoon to scrape out japs. It has a serrated tip.
