don't cut them in half for the poppers. just cut the top off and hollow out leave some seeds if you would like. here are some pics. i do mine on the grill with a pan under neath. i like the bacon good and crispy. not quite burnt but close
grunt soldier, you are a great candidate for my personal recommendation of the Chili Grill. Home of the Chile Grill
I have one of these and it is AWESOME. We make stuffed Jalapenos wrapped in Bacon all the time. If you like to grill stuffed Jalapenos the Chili Grill is well worth the price! I have the one that is in the shape of Texas.
Chile Grill Jalapeno Pepper Cooker - Texas 20 Model
It was a Christmas gift 2 years ago from my family in Houston. One of the best gifts ever.
BTW, the Jalapenos in your pic above look Dee-Freakin-Licious.
Slit them, deseed them, ad a few pepperonies (insie them), some shreaded cheese. Scramble a couple eggs then dip them in. Roll them in tamale mix and grill them on some foil till cheese melts and peppers are kind of soft. Good stuff!!
^THIS!Cut them in half, hollow out the inside, fill with cream cheese and wrap a slice of bacon around them. Then proceed to cook them in the oven or on the grill till the bacon is crisp. Enjoy!
