I love jalapeno poppers. The most common way I had them was filled with cream cheese and baked in the oven. That was until our friend TJ introduced me to his Texas grilled jalapeno poppers. These are a Stephens family crowd pleaser! If you know my in-laws you know that status doesn't come lightly.
Toothpicks
12 jalapenos
1lb bacon
8oz monterey jack cheese
Soak the toothpicks in water. Cut the jalapenos in half and scoop out the seeds. Cut the cheese in small sticks to lay instead the halved jalapeno. Wrap 1 whole piece of bacon around jalapeno and cheese. Poke two toothpicks through the bacon, jalapeno, and cheese. This will help the poppers hold together while grilling. Season to liking. TJ uses an awesome seasoning salt which will remain top secret. Grill over direct flame, turning frequently, until bacon is cooked thoroughly. Serve immediately while hot.
