So by some people I'm known, thanks to Jeff Dunham and my appetizer, as Jalapeño! So, I call these my jalapeño... on a steeeeck!!!!
Ingredients:
14 jalapeños
1 package cream cheese
1 small can crushed pineapple
1lb bacon
Rub of choice
I start with splitting my jalapeño in half and remove ribs and seeds. Now, if you really want heat save this in another bowl to mix in the creamcheese
I beat the cream cheese with a fork till soft. Then drain the crushed pineapple and add to the cream cheese. Now you could get the pineapple cream cheese, but there is not enough pineapple in it for me!
Now cut your 1lb of bacon in half. I have tried full slices 1.) It becomes expensive 2.) It leaves you with chewy bacon.
Now take the cream cheese mixture and begin spooning it into the half peppers. I usually even it out with the pepper.
Once filled, wrap your half strip of bacon around the pepper. Stick a toothpick through it to hold it together. Now sprinkle you favorite rub on top.
SECRET: in a bowl mix 1 spoon of rub to 2 spoons light brown sugar... this will give it that sweetness and carmalize on the bacon!!
Smoker @ 250* they take about 1-1.5hrs. On a grill indirect heat it will be about 30mins. Cook it till the bacon is crispy looking, darker in color.
Finished product!
