MY TEAM. MY PEOPLE. MY PLATE.
The wickedly GOOD (Secretly) Low Carb App that is smokin' hot! A show stopper!
Prep: 15 Min
1 lb. Jalapeno Poppers (About 10) 8 oz. cream cheese 1 cup cheddar cheese 2 tsp lemon juice 1 tsp smoked paprika 1 tsp granulated garlic 1/2 tsp sea salt 1/4 tsp black pepper 3 scallions
Smoke: 1 hr 15 mins.
Jalapeno Popper Ingredients
Pre-heat & Prep. Preheat smoker to 250F. Slice jalapeños in half lengthwise leaving stem intact. Remove the seeds and white membrane inside the peppers.
Make the filling. Add cream cheese, cheddar cheese, lemon juice, paprika, garlic, salt & pepper to a small mixing bowl. Stir until there are no more white lumps visible.
Fill Peppers. You can pipe in the filling or do it the speedy way...scoop and level off. Then make striations in the filling for added texture and smoke absorption.
To Wrap or Not Wrap? You may bacon-wrap these poppers if you like. I do half plain and half wrapped, placed on seperate racks.
Get Smokin' Place your poppers in the smoker at 250 F for 60-75 mins for al dente peppers. If you like them more tender smoke up to 90 mins.
Broil Bacon. For crispier bacon, transfer bacon-wrapped to the broiler for 3-4 mins to finish.
Keep Warm or Enjoy Immediately!
