Bacon Wrapped Pimento Stuffed Jalapenos are a kicked up version of your standard jalapeno popper. These are stuffed with delicious pimento cheese, wrapped in bacon and then grilled until nicely charred. Our jalapenos will having you kick your deep fried ones to the curb.
Ingredients
- Store bought or hommade Pimento Cheese
- (recipe found here, http://www.strawberryblondiekitchen.com/pimento-goat-cheese-spread/)
- 6-8 jalapenos, depending on their size
- 12-16 pieces of bacon, I used center cut
Instructions
- Start by cutting a "V" the length of each jalapeno pepper
- Stuff each jalapeno with pimento cheese until they are full.
- Starting at the top of each jalapeno, take a piece of bacon, and wrap as far down as you can go. Make sure to overlap so you don't have gaps anywhere on the pepper. I used 2 pieces of bacon per pepper.
- Prepare your grill and set coals off to one side. This is indirect grilling. You'll want to put your peppers on the side without the coals.
- Grill peppers 2.5 minutes per 4 sides or until charred to your liking.
Notes
*When handling jalapenos, make sure to wear gloves and wash your hands thoroughly.
