Grilled stuffed Jalapenos
The other day I picked up a Jalapeno rack and was extremely excited to try it out. Â In my excited state, I totally forgot that that February is not the best time to find jalapenos. Â However, after a long search I found some fresh jalapenos.
There are a ton of companies that make jalapeno racks. Â I choose the cheapest rack that included a corer and free shipping. Â That rack was the King Kooker 36 hole jalapeno rack.
To Start you need some ripe jalapenos. Â Jalapenos are a tad bit hard to come by, in the middle of February in Virginia, but I found some.
Wash and core your jalapenos. Â I picked up this jalapeno rack not only because it was the cheapest, but because it included a corer. Â The corer was totally worth the money all on its own. Â It cleanly sliced through the innards of the jalapeno like a hot knife through butter.
You can also use a paring knife, but I recommend getting a corer. Â Once the insides are scooped out, rinse them out with water.
Next stuff the insides with a combination of hot link sausage and cream cheese. Â I purchased a single link of sausage from the butcher, sliced off the casing and then stuffed the jalapenos. Â I stuffed the jalapenos about half-way up with the sausage and then topped them off with the cream cheese.
I also made some that were cheese only. Â I stuffed them with alternating layers of cream cheese and cheddar cheese.
Once all of the peppers were stuffed I topped them with a sprinkle of seasoned salt. Â I like Lawry’s but you can find a ton of different ones at the store.
Place each of the jalapenos into one of the holes in the rack and place on a medium temperature preheated grill (roughly 350 degrees).
Cook for about 20 minutes and check. Â You may have to rotate the tray if you have hot spots on the grill.
Continue cooking for another 10-15 minutes or until the jalapenos are darkened and soft.
Remove and serve.
These were out of this world. Â I had trouble finding Dana after I was done cooking. Â Therefore, she only received one of these precious gems. Â Needless to say, I was in the dog house for eating all but one of them.
