Chorizo Stuffed Jalapeno Peppers With Added Queso Content image

I'm relatively sure these would kill you if you deep fried them... and while I guarantee you'd die happy, I also figure that the "fat busting" rumors about my foreman grill have to be good for something.

Time 30m

Yield 24 stuffed peppers, 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 lb chorizo sausage
2 cups grated cheddar cheese
12 large jalapenos
1 lb bacon
toothpick

Steps:

  • Cut the peppers in half and remove all the membranes and seeds from each half and set aside.
  • Mix the chorizo sausage with the cheddar cheese (you could use turkey chorizo or another spicy sausage in place of chorizo, if you prefer).
  • Roll the chorizo and cheese mixture into balls (about ping-pong ball sized) and fill each jalapeno half with sausage before wrapping with a slice or 2 of bacon.
  • Stick a toothpick through the bacon and jalapeno to keep the whole thing together.
  • I cook these for about 10-15 minutes at 375 degrees on my foreman grill -- or until the peppers are soft and the bacon is crispy. You can also place them on greased cookie sheet in a 375 degree oven until, again, the peppers are soft and the bacon gets crispy.
