Grilled Jalapeño Poppers

The BEST appetizer for your next grill night!
Prep Time15 minutes
Cook Time20 minutes
Servings - 12 poppers

Ingredients 

  • 12 12 jalapeno peppers
  • about 1/2 to 3/4 cup shredded cheese - Mexican blend or quesadilla blend
  • 6 slices bacon, cut in half
  • toothpicks

Instructions

  • Start the grill.
  • Slit open the jalapeo peppers along the side and open them up as if they were a coin purse. Using a paring knife or sharp edged spoon (like a grapefruit spoon), to pull out the seeds and white pith/ribs inside the peppers.
  • Once the insides of the pepper are removed, add a few pinchfuls of cheese inside the pepper and close it shut. If a little cheese is sticking out, that's ok.
  • Wrap halved piece of bacon around the pepper and add a toothpick to hold the bacon in place, and keep the pepper closed up.
  • Repeat until all 12 peppers are prepared.
  • Once prepared, add to the grill and cook about 4 minutes, per side, rotating often. Grill until the bacon is cooked through, the peppers have softened some and the cheese is melted.
  • Serve Grilled Jalapeno Peppers as appetizers or side dish.
