Bacon Cheeseburger Jalapeno Poppers
Bacon Cheeseburger Jalapeno Poppers, this recipe starts on the Blackstone griddle and then the pellet grill for a bacon wrapped spicy snack!
Equipment
- Blackstone Griddle
- Flat Top Grill/ Griddle
- Traeger/Pellet Grill
Ingredients
- 1/2 pound ground beef
- burger seasoning blend (I used Blackstone Whiskey Burger seasoning)
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 1 cup shredded cheese of choice
- 1/3 cup chopped pickles
- 10 to 12 jalapeno peppers cut in half lengthwise, seeds scraped out
- 20 to 24 slices regular cut bacon
Instructions
- Preheat your griddle (or skillet) to medium heat. Add the ground beef and season with your burger seasoning blend. Cook 5 minutes, mixing with spatulas a few times.
- Put ground beef in a bowl with cream cheese, shredded cheese, pickles, and more burger seasoning. Mix until combined.
- Put this mixture into the halved jalapeno peppers. Wrap each with a slice of bacon, overlapping slightly. Sprinkle just a little more burger seasoning over top.
- Place the bacon wrapped stuffed jalapenos on your pellet grill/smoker set to 250 degrees for 2 1/2 hours or until the bacon is cooked how you prefer.
Notes
Pro Tip: Cook the whole pound of ground beef with burger seasoning and use the leftover half pound to make cheeseburger quesadillas on the griddle.
