We make these at home, but I saw a batch being grilled over a fire on the cover of the Piragis Mag. Never thought to do these on a trip, but am now inspired. Have you grilled them on a trip? How did you do it and what did you stuff them with?

I make them at home on the grill so I see no problem making them camping. I have a recipe I found online called Atomic Buffalo Turds, or ABT's. Hollow out a Jalapeno pepper, fill with a mixture of garlic and cream cheese. Sprinkle with Paprika and wrap with a strip of bacon held with a toothpick. I lay them on the grill for about an hour on low heat, use a nice bed of coals and you are good to go.

Another very good recipe w/ jalapenos that can be grilled:

Cut the jalapanos in half lengthwise and de-seed them.

Use 1 lb of pork sausage (jimmy dean, bob evans). Crumble, brown and let cool.

Combine the sausage with a brick of cream cheese and another cheese of choice. I like sharp cheese, so add a 8 oz tub of gorgonzola or bleu. It is also good w/ 8 oz of shredded parmesan.

Mix all this thoroughly.

Spoon mixture into the jalapeno halves.

At home, just bake these at 375 for about 30 mins. Until the cheese is bubbly.

At camp, I will either grill over some foil. Or if i have a nice bed of coals, will just put the foil right on top with the jalapenos. Just need to wait for the cheese to bubble and it is good to go.

It is messy, so I make them ahead of time and jam them in those disposable foil pans.

A little difficult to work out for a BWCA trip, but is great for car camping

Outstanding suggestion. We make these at home but it never crossed my mind to make them up in the bdub. It will be happening this summer.

Not wrapping these in bacon? Is that too much meat?

My version is slightly different. I don't wrap mine in bacon, I stuff the cooked crumbled bacon inside with the cream cheese.

I prefer the peppers to be slightly less cooked than it takes to brown the bacon. So I cook and crumble about 6-8 slices of bacon, mix it with a tub of spreadable onion and chive cream cheese and stuff as many jalapenos, cut and hollowed, as the filling will stuff. Then grill till the peppers are to your liking.

Never had a single one leftover!

I've also done these with those small sweet peppers, too. For those people who have a lot more taste-buds than I and don't enjoy the heat.

Sounds like you been peeking into my notes. We make poppers the same way and they are also, quick and easy doing it this way.

I'm usually a big fan of bacon, but think the sausage flavor is really excellent combined with the sharp cheese. No need for the bacon.

And then I ran across a version of this at Target.



Popper Grill Pan

Great info. Thanks. I was also thinking of doing poppers with bacon wrapped poblano peppers, stuffed with cream cheese.

sorry-double post.
