Jalapeno Bacon Stuffed Pretzel Dippers Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• Mix cream cheese and Cheddar cheese together in a bowl until evenly blended. Fill each jalapeno half with the cheese mixture. Put halves back together and wrap each stuffed pepper with a slice of bacon. Arrange bacon-wrapped peppers on the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until bacon is crispy, about 15 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• Place bacon in a skillet over medium heat, working in batches, and cook until bacon is translucent and still flexible, about 2 minutes per side. Set bacon aside.
• Trim membranes from jalapeno pepper halves to reduce heat. Rinse peppers and set aside.
• Place whipped cream cheese and Cheddar cheese into a bowl and mix until well blended; stir in Worcestershire sauce. Spoon cheese mixture into a pastry bag fitted with a large tip. Pipe the cheese filling generously into the pepper halves. Top each filled pepper with a precooked bacon strip and arrange onto prepared baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until cheese filling is bubbling and the bacon strips are lightly browned, 8 to 14 minutes. Serve hot.

Steps:

• TO CLEAN THE PEPPERS-.
• Use jalapenos that are large and straight. Put on your rubber gloves and cut the tops off. To clean the inside I have found that a grapefruit knife works the best.Core out the seeds and scrape the inside. Try to get all the seeds out, especially at the tip. If there are any left inside, you will know it. Place them in the chili grill.
• Fry up the sausage, drain good, and while it's still hot, mix in the cream cheese, garlic, onions, cilantro and shredded cheese. Mix well.
• Poke a tiny hole in the bottom of the chili to let the grease out.
• Put in a pastry bag and squeeze it into the jalapenos.
• Cut bacon strips in thirds and lay on top of the chili. Secure with a toothpick. The toothpick holds the bacon and also stops the jalapeno from falling through when its cooked.
• TO COOK IN THE OVEN --
• Bake in oven (put a flat pan underneath to catch the drips)
• ON THE GRILL --
• cook with indirect heat (need a temp gauge)
• For spicier ones....cook 325° for 30 minutes.
• For not too spicy peppers...cook 325° for 45 minutes. The longer you cook them, the milder they get. Don't cook at a higher temp or the stuffing will cook out of them. When the bacon is done, the peppers are done.
