Justin’s ‘not so secret’ Jalapeno Popper Recipe

You asked for it, so here is Justin’s family recipe for your Super Bowl Sunday. He’s spilling all his families secrets.

Justin’s Secret Jalapeno Popper Recipe

  • Cut and clean 25 Jalapenos in half and place on cookie sheet covered in foil.
  • Mix 2 containers of Philadelphia cream cheese with Tony’s Creole Seasoning…Season to taste.
  • Stuff/fill jalapenos with cream cheese and tony’s mixture.
  • Cut thick bacon big enough to cover entire jalapeno.
  • Sprinkle brown sugar on top of bacon on each jalepeno..sugar to taste. I use a lot.
  • Put a tray of jalapenos fully dressed in a smoker for 30ish minutes or until jalapenos are almost soft.
  • Take them out of the smoker and finish in the oven at 350  degrees until the jalapenos are to the texture you prefer.

(If you do not have a smoker you can use liquid smoke but be careful how much you use. If you go this route with the liquid smoke mix it in the cream cheese and Tony’s. Again, a little bit goes a long way.)

Enjoy!
