Just Peachy Poppers came about because Patti’s pal Harriett brought over some smoky spicy peach salsa on the same day we were talking about a new and different popper. They are such a hit for tailgating parties and appetizers. Stuffed jalapenos are fun to make with so many versatile choices for stuffing. And, of course, wrapping them with bacon makes them just peachy!

Patti and I have set one night a week just for us. It’s our date night. We usually put something special on our Green Mountain Wood Pellet Grill/Smoker but sometimes we cook inside. We always eat outside on our patio where it is very comfortable with a rainforest theme.  Wood Pellet Patio Heater, little lights, candles, lanterns and surround sound. We enjoy a little wine, or strawberry margaritas using frozen strawberries for ice, good food, music and sometimes a dance or two…

Cooking Directions: Just Peachy Poppers

Slice jalapenos lengthwise being careful not cutting all the way through. Remove seeds, Patti uses a melon baller. In a small bowl combine salsa with cream cheese and mix well.

Gently fill the jalapenos with mixture careful not to overfill. Wrap with a bacon slice and secure with a toothpick.

Spray your Bull Rack trays with a cooking spray for easy clean up and place your poppers on it.

Preheat your grill to 250 degrees (122c) and place your Bull Racks into the grill. I smoked these for 30 minutes but you can do more or less according to your tastes or time.

After a 30 minute smoke bring the heat up to 350 degrees (177c) for about 45 minutes. Your Peachy Poppers will be done when the bacon is cooked to your taste.

I use a Maverick ProTemp Instant Read Thermometerfor checking meat temps.

Note: I get a lot of questions about the kind of pellets you can use with a recipe. Keep in mind that a recipe is just an outline. Some you need to follow closely like when you are making bread, but most you can do anything you can dream, our favorite way to cook. Feel free to mix and match the pellets until you find a combination you really like. Also you are only smoking at temps less than 250 degrees (122c), anything higher is cooking and there will not be much if any smoke so it does not matter what kind of pellet you are using.

About our Recipes

We do our recipes on our patio where we have a lineup of grills, including Green Mountain, Uuni Wood Fired Pizza Oven, Sawtooth, Louisiana, Royall, Memphis, Traeger pellet grills, Char Griller side box smoker, Saber, Charmglow, Char-Broil, The Big Easy, Lodge Sportsman’s, Brinkman and Weber. I call it our “Wall of Grill”. Our grilling styles are healthy and low fat and will fit pelletheads, gas, natural wood and even charcoal purists. Almost any of our recipes can be done on any kind of good BBQ.

The important thing to keep in mind is TIME & TEMPERATURE. You can do our recipes on any grill, even some of them in the oven or crock pot, but, then you lose all the flavors you get from cooking outdoors. But sometimes it does rain.

Remember that a recipe is simply an outline; it is not written in stone. Don’t be afraid to make changes to suit your taste. Take it and run with it….

Live your Passion and Do What You Love,
Ken & Patti
