I love them as much as anyone! But I struggle to get the pepper tender enough, the bacon crispy enough without the cheese running out. I prefer cheddar. Any tips are much appreciated.
This is the method I use. I haven't found any Jalapenos big enough to core out etc. Also stretches them further!An alternative approach that should work every time is to cut the pepper in half long way, fill, and wrap with bacon.
The pepper long way acts like a plate/bowl to hold everything in and you just cook until the bacon is crispy which should also mean the pepper is soft. Very easy and allows you to dig all the vein and seed out of the Jalapeno if you are heat senstive :)
