Blue cheese dressing: For those who enjoy a stronger flavor, blue cheese dressing can add a nice contrast to the mild cheese and spicy jalapenos. Marinara sauce: If you're looking for a classic dipping sauce, marinara sauce is a great choice. The tangy tomato sauce complements the melted cheese and spicy jalapenos.

A lot of recipes I found make the mistake of breading the jalapeño poppers with just a dip in milk followed by breadcrumbs, but it's hard to get a good single coat because liquids fail to stick to the pepper skin. To solve this, I do a double layer of dredging, first soaking the poppers in milk followed by flour.

The term is called par-cooking. Just fry it briefly in a skillet, drain, and wrap your item. You can par cook the bacon as hobodave said. I find boiling it for a few minutes works nicely, as frying can make parts of it too crisp to wrap effectively.

Cook the bacon first in a skillet or the oven until it is halfway cooked, but still pliable. Then proceed to twist, drape or wrap it around the item of your choice. Mix things up by using a wide variety of bacon. Hickory smoked and applewood smoked both have the traditional flavors we all recognize.

The snack as we now know it—a whole jalapeño filled with cheese, which is then roasted or fried (or both!), sometimes wrapped in a glistening ribbon of bacon—has deep roots in Mexico, namely the dish, chile relleno, which goes back to the 1800s or earlier.

Vegetable crops to grow alongside jalapeños include beans, peas, carrots and cucumbers. And therefore in reverse, peppers make good cucumber companion plants, and companions for the rest.

The Bacon Wrapped Jalapeno Poppers

Poke the toothpick into the side of the jalapeno so it makes it easy to flip in the pan. In other words, not directly into the cream cheese part. Heat the jalapeno poppers in a large frying pan for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until the bacon is browned and crispy.

Put the jalapeno poppers on the grill for about 6 minutes. Flip them over when the bacon is beginning to crisp. Turn down the grill to medium-low heat and grill an additional 10-12 minutes. Take them off when the bacon is cooked and cheese is melted.

Stuffed Jalapeño Poppers are a delicious, crispy, jalapeño popper recipe that is loaded with flavor, including bacon, cream cheese, cheddar cheese, green onions and fried to perfection.

Smoking the Poppers

Once I'm all filled and/or wrapped I place the wire racks (I use 2, 1 for plain and 1 for bacon-wrapped) in the smoker at 250 F for up to 75 minutes, depending on the size of my jalapenos.

Slit and deseed/devein the jalapeño peppers. Pipe the filling into the peppers and cover with a slice of bacon. The bacon can be cut, sliced, diced, or toothpick to the pepper. Smoke for one hour using hickory chips at 275°F.

Once the grill reaches 350°F, place the poppers on the grill and smoke for approximately 25 minutes, or until the bacon is cooked.

Place frozen jalapeno poppers on a large cookie sheet and bake at 375° for 25 minutes or until bacon is fully cooked.
