Grilled Stuffed Jalapeno Peppers





















These cheese-stuffed jalapenos are always popular when we grill out. Easy to make and a great appetizer! A flavor explosion in each crisp and tender pepper met with creamy cheese filling. Note: When working with fresh jalapenos, use disposable kitchen gloves and avoid touching your face and eyes after handling!


Ingredients


4 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup shredded Medium or Sharp Cheddar cheese
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon paprika
10 jalapeno peppers

Directions

In a small bowl, combine the first seven ingredients. Cut a lengthwise slit down each pepper, leaving the stem intact; remove membranes and seeds. Fill each pepper with 1 tablespoon cheese mixture. Place peppers in a disposable foil pan or tray.

Grill, covered, over indirect medium-high heat for 8-10 minutes or until peppers are tender and cheese is melted. Serve warm. Makes 10 appetizers. Enjoy!
