15 large jalapenos
1 LB cream cheese (room temperature)
1 LB ground sausage
30 strips bacon (thin, inexpensive is best)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Temperature: 225\u00b0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Brown off the ground sausage, drain the excess fat, then combine with the cream cheese. Allow to cool then move to a large pastry piping bag (or a gallon ziplock bag).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wash and dry the jalapenos, remove the stem, then cut in half lengthwise. Using a melon-baller or small spoon remove the seeds, membranes and stem end plug.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Snip the end off of the pastry bag (or corner of the gallon ziplock) and fill each jalapeno half generously with the sausage filling. Wrap a slice of bacon around each filled jalapeno half, stretching as needed to completely encase it and the filling, securing the loose end with a toothpick. Arrange on a cooling rack to avoid touching.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cook in a smoker using low heat until done (pecan and apple-wood give a nice, rich smoke without being overpowering).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
