Bacon-wrapped jalapeño poppers with a creamy beef filling and a BBQ glaze. This recipe requires pre-cooked brisket which makes it a great way to use up any leftover brisket.

Ingredients

  • 12 medium jalapeño peppers
  • 12 tablespoons cream cheese , softened
  • 1.5 pounds cooked chopped brisket
  • 12 slices thick-cut bacon
  • kosher salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • ½ , 12 ounce

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).

  2. 2

    Slice jalapeños in the shape of a "T." Cut a straight vertical line from top to bottom with a crosscut directly under the stem, making sure to cut only halfway through the jalapeños. Use a spoon to remove and discard all seeds and membranes. Place jalapeños on a baking sheet.

  3. 3

    Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes.

  4. 4

    Transfer jalapeños to a bowl of ice water for a few minutes to extract the rest of the seeds' oil. Blot dry with a paper towel.

  5. 5

    Increase oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  6. 6

    Spread 1 tablespoon cream cheese inside each jalapeño. Place about 2 ounces brisket inside each, then wrap with a slice of bacon. Place poppers on a baking sheet and season with salt and pepper.

  7. 7

    Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and brush the tops with BBQ sauce. Return to the oven and bake 5 more minutes.
