Next Up: One Of Our All Time Favorites!

We absolutely love stuffed jalapenos! They are one of our all time favorite foods. Stuffed Jalapenos are easy to make and the recipe is flexible. We've done them a lot of different ways. On this episode of Tom's Chuck Wagon, we're sharing one of our recipes for bacon wrapped stuffed jalapenos and our homemade buttermilk ranch dressing!

Stuffed Jalapeno Recipe

Stuffed Jalapeno Ingredients:

  • 8 Large Jalapenos
  • 1/2 Pound of Chorizo*
  • 1/2 Medium Onion, Chopped Small
  • 3 Cloves of Garlic, Minced
  • 3/4 Cup Fresh Cilantro, Chopped
  • 3 Green Onions, Chopped
  • 8 oz Cream Cheese, Softened
  • 1 Cup Sharp Cheddar Cheese, Softened
  • 16 Slices of Bacon

How to Make Stuffed Jalapenos:

Cook the chorizo, onion and garlic together until chorizo is completely cooked.

While the chorizo is cooling, Slice each jalapeno in half lengthwise and remove the seeds.

Mix together both cheeses, green onions and cilantro.

When the chorizo has cooled down, add it to the cheese mixture and combine well.

Spoon the chorizo and cheese stuffing into the jalapeno halves, filling each one completely. (We like the stuffing to be a bit above the pepper when full.)

Wrap a slice of bacon around each stuffed pepper and hold in place with a toothpick.

Place on a hot grill for 20-30 minutes until bacon is cooked. Check every 10 minutes.

CAUTION: When they come off the grill, the cheese will be HOT! Let them cool down just a bit before you bite so you don't burn the roof of your mouth (like Stacie did in the video. LOL)

*NOTE: In the video, we used 1 pound of chorizo. Use 1 pound if you want more meat, use 1/2 pound if you want it cheesier. If you can't find chorizo (spiced pork), you can use ground beef, pork or turkey.
