Easy Stuffed Jalapeño Poppers

If you are having a get together or are tailgating you can certainly serve a ton of different appetizers or finger foods, but with jalapeño poppers, you can serve a ton of different variations. For instance, a traditional jalapeño pepper may only be stuffed with cream cheese and maybe topped off with some bread crumbs. In my case, I took the liberty of stuffing some with cheddar cheese, some with blue cheese and some with pulled smoked chicken, thanks to my new Bradley Smoker! I then topped them off with some whipped cream cheese, and bacon, of course.

I know it may sound like a lot of work, but with the Mr. BBQ Jalapeño Cooker it is super easy. This little gadget helps you keep the jalapeños upright while you stuff away. Even though jalapeños come in all shapes in sizes, the cooker accommodates just about every different jalapeño you may find at your local grocery store. Once you’ve got your jalapeños seeded with the OXO corer, next simply line them up in the cooker, season the insides with salt and then you are only limited to your own creativity. Stuff away! Maybe try putting in some Italian sausage, or some queso dip. I mean, literally, the possibilities are endless.

Because the cooker has little leg stands, you can either put it right on the grill (cross grates of course) or on a sheet pan and right in the oven. It is perfect for a backyard get-together or an onsite tailgate.

Happy Tailgating everyone!
