Jalepeno Poppers

[Knee Deep in Water Chloe]

STBSIL has requested jalepeno poppers as an appetizer for the wedding day. 
I've never made them before. DD and I are going to practice this week. 
Is this really all they are?

Do you have a different recipe?

That's the only way I've seen them made. I've been wanting to try them on my smoker.

Ooh! Interesting! We have a smoker. We'll have to try that also.

I use that recipe all the time (w/some extra spices in the cream cheese/cheese mix).  They are a HUGE hit!  par cook the bacon first so it crisps up

that seems so plain, no seasonings? I mix pepper jack and cheddar into the cream cheese along with a lot of chili seasonings. cumin, hatch chile powder, etc, to taste. if there is any leftover breakfast sausage available, I'll dice a link really small and stir that in as well.

to prep, I halve the pepper and gut it. fill with the cheese mix to level ans wrap with half a strip of bacon. the bacon should stick to itself, but you can use toothpicks if need be.

cook at 400 degrees until the bacon is done, usually ~20min.

Here’s what we’re trying today.
Some will have sausage and some will not.
Then we will make a few with each spice.

It's a shame that we can't all be there to test drive the goodies you're experimenting with. I just know that we could provide valuable suggestions. After all, you don't want to be serving just any old appetizers to the guests.

Okay...here are the verdicts: 

Yes, feta does go well in jalapeno poppers. 
I'm not a fan of the sausage being in them. (But it's not my wedding.)
I made most of them much bigger than I needed to. (Good to know now rather than day of.)
STBSIL did not like the salt-free seasonings. 

While we enjoyed all of the seasonings, these are the top choices: 

Whiskey barrel black pepper
Forward!
Garlic Salt


We'll make some with cheddar, some with feta, some with sausage, some without, and some without bacon. 

Also, I much prefer stuffed mushrooms, but, as previously noted, it's not my wedding,

Oh, goody. Me, too. After the wedding hoopla is over with, make a crap ton of them and I'll come and help you eat them.
