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.
