Stuffed Jalapenos
- 1 (8 1/2 ounce) box cornbread mix
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese (your favorite, I use cheddar)
- 1/2 teaspoon liquid smoke
- salt or creole seasoning, for sprinkling in peppers
- 24 large jalapenos, tops cut off and seeds and membrane removed
- Preheat grill to medium.
- Wash jalapenos and cut off tops.
- Using end of vegetable peeler, scrape out seeds and membrane (NOTE: wear plastic gloves to protect hands if you are sensitive to hot peppers).
- Poke a hole in the bottom of each pepper (so it can release moisture during cooking and so it won't force the cornbread filling to boil out of the top).
- Season inside of each pepper with a little salt or creole seasoning.
- Make cornbread mix according to directions on box adding cheese and liquid smoke.
- Fill peppers to within 1/4-inch to top of pepper leaving that space for cornbread to bake and rise.
- I use a pastry bag or a Zip style bag with the end cut off to fill the peppers.
- If your peppers are small they will shrink more as they cook so stick a toothpick through the tops of them to keep them from falling through the Chili Grill(R) holes.
- Place them all in the Chili Grill(R) holder and place on preheated grill (med heat).
- Close grill cover and let them cook for about 30 minutes checking them halfway through.
- (You might have to adjust the heat to low if they are browning too quickly).
- Peppers will look shriveled and cornbread will pop up over top of peppers when done.
- Enjoy!
