Ingredients
- 12 jalapeños
- 8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
- 6 ounces smoked brisket, chopped
- 1 cup pepper jack cheese, shredded
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
- 16 ounces bacon, about one slice per jalapeño
- BBQ sauce
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
- Prepare 12 jalapeños by cutting a slit down the length of one side and then another cut across the top, stopping before cutting all the way through. The two cuts should form a T on the jalapeño. Remove the seeds and veins. Repeat with the remaining jalapeños.
- Combine 8 ounces cream cheese, 6 ounces smoked brisket, 1 cup pepper jack cheese, ¼ teaspoon garlic powder, and ¼ teaspoon onion powder in a large bowl. Spoon the filling into the jalapeños until they are filled but are still able to close all the way.
- Wrap each jalapeño tightly with a slice of the 16 ounces bacon,. You can use toothpicks to hold the bacon on the peppers, but they are not necessary.
- Line the jalapeños up on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes, until the bacon is getting crispy and the jalapeños are tender. Brush each one generously with BBQ sauce and bake for an additional 5 minutes,
- Let them cool slightly before serving.
