Grilled Pepper Poppers Recipes

Steps:

• Spoon sour cream into a 1-quart zip-loc freezer bag; seal and chill.
• Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
• Rinse peppers; cut in half length-wise. Remove seeds and veins.
• Mix together in small bowl cheese, tomato, onion, cilantro and salt.
• Fill pepper halves evenly with cheese mixture; pressing it into hollows.
• Lay filled peppers, cheese side up on grill (I use a grill pan for ease, but it's not necessary).
• Cook until blistered and slightly charred on the bottoms, approximately 3-5 minutes.
• With a wide spatula, move peppers to serving platter.
• Snip 3/4-inch corner off the sour cream bag and pipe evenly over the hot peppers.
• Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Prepare grill to medium high heat.
• Combine first 7 ingredients in bowl, stirring well.
• Spoon about 2 teaspoons of mixture into each pepper half.
• Place pepper halves, cheese side up, on grill rack coated with cooking spray.
• Grill peppers 5 minutes or until bottoms are charred and cheese mixture is lightly browned.
• Carefully place peppers on serving platter and sprinkle with cilantro.

Steps:

• CAUTION: Jalapenos can be very hot. Use caution and wear rubber gloves if you have skin sensitivity. Keep hands away from face and eyes. Wash hands thoroughly with warm water and soap when finished handling peppers.
• Slice peppers from stem to tip on 1 side. Carefully squeeze ends of pepper (like a change purse) and scoop out seeds and veins with a small spoon. Stuff each pepper with shredded cheese. Cut bacon slices in half. Wrap each pepper with a piece of bacon and secure with a toothpick.
• Preheat grill. Grill peppers 3 to 5 minutes on each side or until bacon is cooked, but not crisp.
• Remove from grill and serve while hot.

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat, and lightly oil the grate.
• Mix together the cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and Cheddar cheese in a bowl until the mixture is thoroughly blended.
• Lay a jalapeno pepper onto a work surface, and cut a lengthwise sliver from the side of the pepper, exposing the seeds and white membrane. With the handle of a teaspoon, scrape out the seeds and membrane, leaving the hollow pepper. Repeat for the rest of the peppers. Chop up the pepper slices, and mix into the cheese stuffing. Stuff each pepper with cheese mixture, and wrap each stuffed pepper in a half bacon slice. Secure with toothpicks.
• Grill the poppers on a less-hot part of the grill until the peppers are hot and juicy and the bacon is browned, 30 to 40 minutes.
