Anyone ever do bacon-wrapped jalapenos stuffed with cream cheese? I've been grilling them for a couple of years now and I get high marks from the friends who try them. I've never smoked them though, just grill over medium high heat. Recently I bought a tray that holds them upright which makes things a little easier. Also, now I've seen a cool tool that reams the insides of the pepper, called a chili twister. Attached is a picture. I'm eager to get one of these to make cleaning the insides of the jalapeno easier.
Basically you scrape out the innards of the jalapeno, stuff it with cream cheese (or a mixture of cream cheese and any other cheese you want to try) and wrap it in a slice of bacon secured with a toothpic, slap it on the grill til the pepper looks soft and wilted a little. Let it cool a little before you chomp into it though or you'll get a nice little blister on the inside of your mouth or lips. Good stuff though iffn you like jalapenos. But if anyone can tell my how to tell the difference between the hot ones and the mild ones when buying them at the grocery store, I'm all ears.
