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).
