Calories: 423kcal
Ingredients
- 10 jalapeno peppers
- 16 ounce bacon
- 8 ounce cream cheese
- 1 ½ cups leftover beef brisket, chopped
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 teaspoon Slap Ya Mama seasoning
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ cup barbecue sauce
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top of the foil. Set aside.
- Rinse and dry jalapenos. Cut down the center of the jalapenos but do not go all the way through. If needed, remove about ¼ inch all the way down so it’s easier to remove seeds and stuff with the brisket/cheese filling.
- In a medium bowl, beat cream cheese until fluffy.
- Add seasonings, shredded cheese and chopped brisket. Stir to combine.
- Spoon the brisket cream cheese mixture into each jalapeno.
- Wrap all the jalapenos with bacon and place on the prepared baking sheet. Use toothpicks to secure the bacon if needed.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes or until bacon is crispy.
- Remove from the oven, brush with BBQ sauce, and return to the oven for 10-15 additional minutes.
