    I like to take breakfast sausage, raw, and mix it 1:1 with a block of cream cheese (or 1:2) and use that in my "half" of our batches of poppers when we make it. I don't use Cajun Shake or spicy things, as I'm what my guy affectionately calls "white girl spicy," ;) as I am a "white girl" and I'm more on the level of pumpkin spice than cayenne. ;) Said affectionately, y'all.

    Do jalapeños become less hot with ribs and seeds removed and then cooked? I often find them too spicy for me raw. I do love poblanos , though.

    Yes, @Jan93L - I can only handle them cooked with onions and garlic in things - or raw/pureed/cut in things like salsa. I was a total chicken to eating them, but the creaminess of the cheese with the saltiness of the bacon mute the heat in general. I still get a few sometimes that are "too much." I find that adding the sausage mutes the heat or balances it out further.

    @KnitOrMiss. Thanks! Those look so yummy! I wonder if pre cooking the bacon a little would help. Does the cheese slide out when they are turned?

    I've made these and found it yummy. No Cajun shake needed. No real need to turn them. I like the breakfast sausage idea, I experienced that the bacon slips off with the first bite anyway.

    @Jan93L - If you wrap the bacon properly (this picture is a bad example!), the cream cheese doesn't get exposed at all. I would NOT precook the bacon, as you need all the yummy fats to make it all meld and to cook the bottom of the bacon unless you put them on a elevated grate. I find that each "tray" cooks better than the last due to the extra bacon fat remaining in the pan.

    Personally, I use an offset spatula (cake/icing spreader) to fill the cream cheese in, and a spoon to scoop out the spines/seeds. I've made this enough in the past year that I have a whole "system" to it. For bigger jalapenos, I even use 2 slices of bacon to cover it all! I don't broil, I bake them (takes a little longer), and sometimes broil to finish...

    I use garlic and herb cream cheese in mine and wrap them in prosciutto! Not very spicy at all and so delicious!

    Are these Cajun? I've been making them for years. They're yummy.

    I made them last year after DittoDan posted about them. They are delicious, and I wasn't a jalapeno fan before then! Use gloves to remove stems and all the white inside, and they taste sweetish, not spicy at all. If you want a spicy kick, leave the white in. Personal preference matters here. I would add cheddar to the cream cheese, and bacon bits too! Come on pepper plants! Mama needs some poppers, lol!
