Stuffed Jalapenos

most people will tell you to stuff them with cream cheese and wrap them in bacon. i like to mix stuff in the sour cream, like tiny pieces of onion, maybe some parmesan or asiago...any cheese with a "bite", then some salt and pepper. i just make a big bowl of it, mix it up, cram it in the pepper, then wrap him in bacon. i've never deep fried a jalapeno before.

omg my carnivore husband is going to LOVE this. thanks@

Some people stuff half a pepper. My dad and I stuff them with cream cheese (like everyone else). Dried them really well, dipped them in egg/milk wash and used a cornmeal/flour batter. We redipped and rebattered 2-3 times to get the batter to stick a little better, but there were a few peppers where the batter fell off. But they were EXCELLENT. Make sure you find some real veiny peppers- they will blow the roof of your MOUTH off.

Last weekend we stuffed some with "green" deer and pork sausage and wrapped em with bacon.. I also stuffed some with Chrorizo and manchego cheese and wrapped em with bacon..

Make sure you remove those seeds

Stuff each jalapeno with one shrimp, wrap in bacon.

You can find Manchego cheese at Colandro's, Albertson's, Maxwell's, Whole Foods.. just about any better grocery store.. It's a Spanish cheese, and it's got a nutty flavor, not as hard as Parmesan cheese, not as soft or as sharp as white cheddar.. It's also good by itself

If you have a problem with the cheese running out, try using a paring knife to score the inside of the pepper and don't slice the pepper down the side to stuff it.. put the cheese at the bottom of the pepper and stop up the pepper with the meat, then wrap with the bacon.. ok my mouth's watering now..

Sorry about the size of the first one. New at this. Did these yesterday. Stuffed Jalapenos, Armadillo Eggs, and two stuffed Fatties. Sure was good.

No problem. Ya'll will have to come to yankee land up here in north La. though.
