Directions
Cajun Jalapeno Poppers, This recipe came from taste testing poppers all over I combined what I liked and discarded the rest You can use fresh peppers or prepackaged peppers (not recommended, to soft) If use fresh, I sometimes like to slice them in half, leaving the stem, de-vein and seed them and saute’ them in my favorite beer to soften them up just a little (2-4 minutes) Another tip is to always use protective cooking gloves when dealing with peppers , I made these for dinner tonight used low fat cream cheese, the optional cilantro and the optional mushrooms used 9 jalapeno and 9 mini sweet peppers because we have some members of our family who can not stomach hot things I also reduced the cayenne pepper to one pinch I wanted to make sure that it had flavor but not heat I didn’t have the called for bread crumbs so used a mix of panko and fresh ground Italian seasoning While they took longer to cook than called for, they were a success We served them with some hickory smoked Sloppy Joe’s Yum!, These were really hot, I was afraid it was too much cayenne (used a full tablespoon), but the Cajun folks at the party couldn’t get enough I followed the suggestion of sauteing the peppers in beer first, I left out the pimientos, and used a mixture of colby jack and cheddar (in addition to the cream cheese)
