Best Jalapeno Hot Dog Poppers Recipes

BACON-WRAPPED JALAPEñO POPPER DOGS RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Combine filling ingredients in a medium bowl, and mix thoroughly. Refrigerate at least 15 minutes.
• Cut the ends off the jalapeños, slice in half, and remove the seeds and white flesh from the interior.
• Butterfly the hot dogs.
• Stuff them with a few spoonfuls of the filling.
• Place one jalapeño half over each end of the hot dog, fitting the dogs snugly inside.
• Use two strips of bacon to wrap each jalapeño dog. Secure the bacon at each end with a toothpick.
• Grill the dogs over medium indirect heat until the bacon is crispy, about 10 minutes, turning halfway through. If you don't have a grill, you can bake them in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes.
• Remove the toothpicks and serve in buns with your desired toppings.
• Enjoy!

SUNNY'S JALAPEñO POPPER HOT DOGS

Steps:

• For the spread: Put about 2 inches of oil in a small saucepan and line a plate with paper towels.
• Heat the oil over medium-high heat until swirls appear on the surface of the oil, about 5 minutes, then add the jalapeños. Fry until they begin to wrinkle and the thin outer skin begins to separate, about 5 minutes. Remove and drain on the lined plate. Let cool slightly, then chop finely, removing seeds if you'd like less heat. Fold together the jalapeños, cream cheese and salt and pepper to taste in a bowl.
• For the hot dogs: Cook the hot dogs in the same frying oil until they plump and begin to blister, about 5 minutes. Remove and drain on the lined plate. Slather the insides of the warm hot dog buns with the cream cheese mixture, then add a hot dog to each and top with a drizzle of the nacho cheese sauce and a sprinkle of the chopped fried jalapeños.

BEST EVER JALAPENO POPPERS

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, mix the cream cheese, Cheddar cheese and bacon bits. Spoon this mixture into the jalapeno pepper halves.
• Put the milk and flour into two separate small bowls. Dip the stuffed jalapenos first into the milk then into the flour, making sure they are well coated with each. Allow the coated jalapenos to dry for about 10 minutes.
• Dip the jalapenos in milk again and roll them through the breadcrumbs. Allow them to dry, then repeat to ensure the entire surface of the jalapeno is coated.
• In a medium skillet, heat the oil to 365 degrees F ( 180 degrees C). Deep fry the coated jalapenos 2 to 3 minutes each, until golden brown. Remove and let drain on a paper towel.
