by Big D’s BBQ
Whether you’re having a small backyard party or entertaining a few hundred friends, these smoked jalapeño poppers will the be a big topic of conversation. They are relatively easy to prepare and are perfect as an appetizer or as a meal.
At Big D’s BBQ, we grow a “Monster Jalapeño” in our garden each year. This year we are up to 27 plants which will yield over 3000 jalapeños!
Our stuffed and smoked jalapeño poppers are a sell-out favorite of our guests Big D’s BBQ. We only offer them for a limited time, generally in late summer, when our Monster Jalapeños are ready for harvesting.
Think of these as a great game-day finger food, as an appetizer for a gathering or as a meal.
In this recipe we share our secrets for this popular appetizer.
Each jalapeño will make two pieces. Generally 4 to 6 pieces is a serving for a meal.
It’s hard to be specific with amounts of each ingredient because you can add and adjust the ingredients to your taste.
TIP: The heat comes from the seeds. To make a milder version, make sure you remove all of the seeds.
