No lie, my hands are on fire. And I’m pretty sure my lungs are trying to crawl out of my body. Send help.
I’ve had a miserable day, so I thought I’d throw a touch of masochism in the mix and stuff some jalapenos. Makes sense, right?
You see, this is one of those foods that I think is high risk and also high reward. You might get a batch that’s mild and pleasant. Slice them open and they smell like salsa or someone’s plastic baggy full of homegrown produce. Sometimes a drop of juice feels like acid or a burning match on your skin. There’s not really any in between.
There’s so many possibilities here, though. You can literally stuff them with anything imaginable. Cheese, meat… cheese. The only rule is that they MUST be wrapped in bacon.
Today’s mix is cream cheese, pulled pork (from Burnco of course), medium Tillamook Cheddar, and Hasty Bake seasoning. Put it all in a bowl and stir. Smear it inside those bad boys and wrap them in bacon.
I also usually dust the outside with more Hasty Bake seasoning because the brown sugar gives them a nice char. Don’t be scared of the char. Become one with the char (in your stomach, otherwise you’d be on fire).
I didn’t use toothpicks this time because I overestimated my ability to wrap a jalapeno. They’re unraveling. Whoops. I’m not going to apologize for this mistake because I’m not going for aesthetics. I’m just hungry.
End result: my mouth hurts and I’m sweaty.
10/10 would eat again.
