Texan Jalapeño Poppers with Bacon, Brisket, Cream Cheese, & BBQ Sauce 🥓 🌶

Ingredients

12 whole jalapeños

15 T. cream cheese

1½ lbs. marbled brisket

12 thick-cut strips bacon

2 T. kosher salt 2 T.

Coarse-ground pepper

6 oz. BBQ Sweet Glaze

Instructions

Slice one side of each jalapeño from stem to tip.

(We recommend these jalapeños)

Slice across the stem end; remove seeds and membranes.

Place jalapeños on baking sheet; bake at 300ºF for 10 minutes. Remove from oven; place jalapeños in bowl of ice water to extract additional seed oil.

Cover each jalapeño's inside bottom with approximately 1 T. cream cheese; add 2 oz. brisket.

Close pepper around stuffing. Wrap with bacon; add pinch salt and pepper.

Place peppers on baking sheet; bake at 350ºF for about 30 minutes.

Remove; apply approximately 1 T. glaze to each.

Optional: Follow our Brisket Recipe and add bits to the final product. You can also Grill the Jalapeño Poppers as well.
