Texas Rockets (Jalapeno)

Boomette's Note:

I saw this at Food network and it look so good. And I was surprised it's not posted on zaar.

• Total Time: 40 mins
• Prep Time: 20 mins
• Cook Time: 20 mins

Ingredients:

Yield: 12 jalepenos

• 12 -15 jalapeno peppers (about 3.5-4 inches long)
• 1 cup provolone cheese , grated
• ½ cup goat cheese , crumbled
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro , roughly chopped
• ½ cup fresh corn kernels
• 2 tablespoons sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil , drained, chopped
• pepper
• 12 thin slices bacon , cut in half
• 12 sturdy toothpicks , soaked in water for 15 minutes
• 1 cup sour cream , for dipping

Directions:

1. In a medium bowl combine the cheeses, cilantro, sundried tomatoes and corn kernels together.
2. Cut jalapeno peppers lengthwise down 1 side, leaving the other side intact (creating an open book); leave the top and stem on.
3. Using the handle of a spoon scrape the seeds and membranes out of the pepper. Note if you want extra spice leave some inches.
4. Spoon 2 tablespoons of the cheese mixture into the cavity of each pepper.
5. Wrap each pepper in bacon and secure it in place with a wooden toothpick.
6. Prepare your barbecue. Place a drip pan under barbeque grates to prevent flare ups.
7. Place a grill screen over the drip pan directly on top of the grill grate.
8. Preheat barbeque to medium heat 325°F (160°C).
9. Oil the grill grate to help prevent sticking.
10. Place the stuffed peppers onto the grill plate and cook with the lid up for 15-20 minutes or until the bacon is crispy. Turn the peppers frequently for even cooking.

I am rating these on taste. YUMMMMYY. I bit finicky to cook. I used 8 small-medium jalepenos and cut the cheese mixture in half and still had a bit leftover. So unless they are large jalepenos there will be cheese leftover and I am ot sure if half a slice of bacon would cover well it barely covered the smallish ones I used . I used a cast iron fry pan on the barbeque since I had a feeling the cheese might ooze out when cooking and it did. I started them in the pan then put on the grill for a few minutes and then once the cheese started oozing out they went back into the pan I did not want to lose any of that cheesy goodness LOL All in all I will be making these again .
