I had a little bacon that needed using, and I wanted to try something a little bit different. So… I decided to try a different take on combining bacon, cheese, and jalapeño. I was going to call them Bacon Jalapeño Boats but calling so small a treat a boat seemed somehow inappropriate.
I got out the KitchenAid and put the food grinder attachment on it. It took about fifteen minutes to run about a pound of bacon and half a block of sharp cheddar cheese through it to end up with a ground bacon cheese mixture.
While this was being done the jalapeños were prepped. Prepping involved cutting them in half lengthwise and removing the seeds.
The ground bacon mix had a little garlic powder and a bit of onion powder added to it. This was mixed in thoroughly and spooned in to the pepper halves. Afterwards they were cooked in an oven preheated to 375. Then they were broiled for about five minutes until the tops started to brown. I pulled them out and let them cool just a minute or two. They looked good and I had to try one. How would it taste?
RESULT!
