Jalapeño Poppers with Brisket and Bacon
Without a doubt, appetizers are my favorite part of any get together and these jalapeño poppers are worthy of any holiday or game day gathering. Super simple to make and the ultimate flavor combination!
Easy appetizers are my favorite, like these jalapeño poppers, 3- ingredient Barbecue Bacon Wrapped Tater Tots, Easy Bacon Stuffed Mushrooms, Spinach Dip and Loaded Potato Skins. Add in a some Easy Party Punch or Pineapple Margaritas, or add a Red Beer and you have yourself quite a party!
How to Make Jalapeño Poppers with Brisket and Bacon:
- Remove stems, slice jalapeños in half lengthwise, remove seeds and membrane.
- Roast jalapeños for 10 minutes.
- Remove from oven and add to a bowl of ice water for 5 minutes, this will keep them from being too spicy.
- Remove jalapeños and pat dry with paper towels.
- Mix cream cheese, shredded cheddar, garlic and salt together.
- Spoon into jalapeño halves.
- Top with brisket and crumbled bacon.
- Drizzle with Dr Pepper Barbecue Sauce.
- Bake for 15 minutes.
- Remove from oven and cool for 5 minutes before serving.
- Garnish with cilantro.
At least once a month and sometimes twice, we make our Easy Smoked Brisket. It is seriously my favorite. I kind of turn into Bubba from Forrest Gump when I talk about brisket.
We make Brisket Tacos, Brisket Nachos, Brisket Taquitos, Brisket Queso and Brisket Sliders and now I can add Brisket Jalapeño Poppers to the list. If you are wondering what you can make with leftover brisket, I have you covered!
If jalapeños poppers are one of your favorites, you'll have to give my Doritos Chicken Jalapeño Poppers a try. If you are a fan of the sweet and spicy combination, my Jalapeño Barbecue Bacon is a must-try!
How to make the bacon crispy on jalapeño poppers:
I like to cook and crumble the bacon and add it to the top of these jalapeño poppers instead of wrapping the poppers in bacon. The bacon stays crispy this way but you can also wrap the stuffed poppers in bacon before baking.
