Stuffed Jalapenos
Just seen a recipe on the web for stuffed Jalapenos that looked great! Cut peppers long way and take out seeds ect. brown your favorite sausage, chop
finely, stuff into peppers, add a thin slice of cheddar cheese inside pepper and close. Now wrap a slice of bacon around the pepper and grill or bake
till bacon is done. Haven't tried it yet. Suggestion: It might be better to cook the bacon a little first.
We all want a peaceful world, filled with love and laughter, but we fill ourselves with anger and hate trying to fiqure out how to achive it.

Actually, slicing the bacon in half works great and there is no need to pre-cook bacon. Never have tried these with sausage, we figure the cream
cheese and bacon is enough to clog our arteries!

We just fill ours with cream cheese and top with proscuitto or serrano ham then bake or barbeque. Easier than trying to get the bacon fully cooked

Stuffed jalapenos on the grill are great. The bacon wrapped Pacifico not so great.
I think the world is run by C- students.

Here's Another Version (Muy Bueno!)
• 24 Fresh Jalapeno Peppers
• 1 lb. Fresh Mexican Chorizo Sausage (Mexican Chorizo is raw pork, don’t use Spanish chorizo, it’s a cured salami type)
• 24 slices sliced bacon
• 8 oz. Queso Fresco, white Mexican cheese or Monterey Jack cheese, shredded 8 oz. Cream cheese, softened
1. Cook chorizo without casings in hot skillet over medium heat until cooked. Drain excess grease. Set aside.
2. Combine white Mexican Cheese and softened cream cheese, and also set aside.
3. Cut a slit in each jalapeno, starting near the crown and down to just near the tip. Making each pepper a small coin purse that you can squeeze open
to clean out. With a very small spoon, scoop out the seeds and membranes.
4. With a small spoon or your fingers, stuff the peppers half full of the cheese mixture.
(The cheese mix is very dry and clumpy and you can handle it just fine with your fingers. I like to press the cheese against all sides of the pepper,
leaving a small pocket in which to add the chorizo.)
5. Add the chorizo to finish stuffing each pepper.
6. Wrap the pepper, starting at one end and wrapping around to the opposite end, with one slice of bacon (smaller peppers may only require 1/2 slice).
Secure bacon to the pepper with a toothpick at each end. Can make ahead of time, cover and refrigerate until time to grill.
7. Preheat grill to medium hot heat. Grill peppers for 8-10 minutes, rotating on grill grate every 2 min. to evenly and thoroughly cook the bacon and
roast the pepper. Let cool slightly, remove the toothpicks, and serve warm.
• If you remove all the seeds and membranes, you will reduce the heat factor significantly – or leave a little of the membrane for heat.
• The chorizo is very spicy, and a little goes a long way… plan on filling each pepper with mostly cheese, and finish up the stuffing with a smaller
amount of chorizo.
• Don’t worry about the bacon wrap too much, we like ours fully engulfed with the bacon… you may like less. experiment and see what works for you.
• These babies reheat very well, in the microwave or better yet in your toaster oven.

Call 'em Poppers when stuffed, rolled in batter and deep fried.

Drooling, drooling, drooling---BMG--photos are not fair! Those look so great!
All of the suggestions sound great, however, even though I need to order another bottle of lipitor, Gypsy Jan, that recipe sounds incredible!

Thank you for the kind, albeit, drooling remarks. (Where's my towel? )
The recipe can be tweaked in many ways, but I would argue that a judicious use of pork products actually results in eating less because of the
satisfaction index.

Think I will simply accept your expert statement, but only if I can repeat it---love it.
