Grilled Jalapeno Poppers with Cheddar Cheese and Garlic Mashed Potatoes

Author Eva Kosmas Flores

Ingredients

  • 15 Jalepenos with tops cut off and seeds removed
  • 1 Cup Milk warm
  • 3/4 Cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese
  • 1/3 Cup Cream Cheese
  • 1/2 Cup Garlic Mashed Potato Flakes
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Black Pepper

Tools

  • Grill
  • Charcoal
  • Skewer
  • 1/4 Cup Wood Smoking Chips optional

Instructions

  1. Remove the bars from the top of your grill, they are not necessary for
  2. this recipe. Light the coals in your grill and allow them to burn,
  3. uncovered, for 30 minutes or until they are greyish on the outside and
  4. glowing orange.
  5. Meanwhile, in a medium-sized bowl, mix together the milk, garlic mashed potato flakes, cheddar cheese, and black pepper until blended. Spoon the mixture into the hollowed out jalapenos.
  6. Place the jalapenos on a skewer, skewering them about 1/2 inch from the top of the jalapeno, with the exposed filling facing up.
  7. Right before placing the skewer on the grill, toss the wood smoking chips over the hot coals for a smokier flavor (optional). Place the skewer across the top of the grill and cover (note that the cover will not close all the way because the skewer is sticking out over each side and that is okay). Allow them to cook for 5 to 15 minutes, depending upon the heat of the coals, or until the bottoms of the peppers just get tinged black and the top of the filling is just beginning to turn golden.
  8. Remove them from the grill and allow to cool a bit before serving.
