Equipment

  • 1 Oven

Ingredients

  • 12 medium jalapeño peppers
  • 12 tablespoons cream cheese softened
  • ½ pounds brisket
  • 12 slices thick-cut bacon
  • kosher salt
  • ground black pepper
  • ½ BBQ sauce

Instructions

  • Set the oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit (150 degrees C).
  • Slice jalapenos into a "T" shape. Cutting the jalapenos only halfway through, make a crosscut right under the stem in a straight vertical line from top to bottom. All seeds and membranes should be scooped out and thrown away. Jalapenos should be put on a baking sheet.
  • For 10 minutes, bake in the preheated oven.
  • For a few minutes, place the jalapenos in a bowl of ice water to extract the remaining oil from the seeds. With a paper towel, blot dry.
  • raise the temperature of the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Each jalapeo should have 1 tablespoon cream cheese inside. Fill each with about 2 ounces of brisket, then cover with a slice of bacon. Poppers should be put on a baking pan and salt and peppered.
  • Bake for 30 minutes in the preheated oven. After taking them out of the oven, brush the tops with BBQ sauce. Back in the oven, bake for an additional five minutes.
