Spicier, Cheesier Stuffed Jalapenos Wrapped in Bacon image

I never liked the thought of cream cheese in my jalapeno poppers so this variation uses sticks of Tillamook® pepper Jack cheese to turn up the heat and flavor. Your friends will love this if they can handle the heat.

Time 40m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 4

12 jalapeno peppers
½ (8 ounce) package pepper Jack cheese (such as Tillamook®)
12 slices bacon
toothpicks

Steps:

  • Slice caps off the jalapeno peppers; reserve. Core and seed the peppers.
  • Cut pepper Jack cheese into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Cut each slice into sticks the thickness of a pencil. Stuff jalapeno peppers with as many cheese sticks as will fit. Secure caps back on the jalapenos, using at least 2 toothpicks per pepper.
  • Wrap 1 slice bacon around each jalapeno pepper. Keep bacon secure by skewering the end on one of the toothpicks.
  • Preheat grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate. Grill jalapeno peppers, watching for flare-ups, until bacon is browned, about 20 minutes.
