Liv's Jalapeno Ass Kickers (Jalapeno Poppers) Recipe

While the timing of this recipe coincides with the Superbowl, it also supports Matt's personal belief that I starred in Star Wars as Jabba the hut. No these aren't healthy, not even close, but they are "Freaking awesome", and worth every pound you gain from them. While I'd love to take credit for them, as usual this recipe is 50% copying, 50% self-experimentation. In all honesty, there was a show on the food channel a few days where I tuned in at the end and caught a restaurant making these as their version of Jalapeno Poppers. Technically I'm not sure how close these are, but after just tasting the finished product, you'll be hard presses to find another Jalapeno Popper recipe that comes even close to this. For pure, excitement, I'll rename these Jalapeno Poppers, as Jalapeno Ass Kickers.

So here's what you need:

Ingredients:
Jalapenos. (Duh)
Sharp Cheese, Shredded, (or your choice)
Creme Cheese
Sausage (Your choice)
Tooth Picks
Bacon

Directions:
Preheat Oven to 325F

1. Cut the tops of the Jalapeno Peppers
2. Using a knife, remove the innards being careful not to puncture the pepper.
3. In a bowl, combine 1/2 roll of sausage, and 1/2 bag of your favorite cheese.
(I used a whole log of sausage and a whole bag of cheese, and discovered I had a whole lot of leftovers)
4. Once meat and cheese is sufficiently mixed, stuff into Pepper carcasses leaving 1/4 of the total body empty.
5. wrap & toothpick the pepper in 1/2 length bacon strips. (Probably will go around atleast a couple times.)
6. Stick on pan. (I used a cup-cake pan, and stuck two in each hole)
7. Place in oven for about 15 minutes on the middle rack
8. Remove from oven, and fill the remainder of the peppers with creme cheese.
9. Place back in oven and cook for another 15-30 minutes.
10. Peppers are done when bacon is cooked, and creme cheese in browned on top.

Let it cool, and chow down.

Thanks, I needed that.

Seriously though, I experimented with some Jalapeños tonight in a recipe I was playing around with. This sounds like it has potential.

I took some co-workers out for dinner. One girl asked if the 'Snakebite Stuffed Japapeno's' were hot. I assumed she was joking so I said "I shouldn't think so". The look on her face when she ate one was priceless.

Jalapeno's don't even register in hotness to me anymore.

One time I swallowed a Hot Banero... Now that was hot...

As I get older they register a lot less going down. Coming out is just the same though. I have to remind myself to be careful when I eat.

I'm glad you have enough breath to cry. I'm also allergic to jalapenos- my throat swells shut. More at hat a little bit is likely to be fatal.

Never knew Jalapenos were a food with such a allergic reaction.... Odd....
