Grilled Stuffed Jalapeno Peppers with Brown Sugar Bacon – spicy jalapenos stuff with cream cheese and topped with sweet and smokey bacon.
Grilled Stuffed Jalapeno Peppers
If you’ve been following Call Me PMc, you know that this is Bacon Month. I’ve been sharing two new bacon recipes each week for you. If you scroll all the way to the bottom of this post, you can see what everyone else has made as well.
For these stuffed jalapeno peppers, I cooked the bacon first instead of wrapping it around the pepper and grilling it. The thing I don’t like about wrapping the pepper is the bacon doesn’t get crispy. I like crispy bacon.
This is a great appetizer and perfect party or tailgating food. It’s particularly popular with guys. It’s also an easy recipe to make. Put it together hours beforehand and grill or bake when needed. It’s also good hot or room temperature. I bet it’s even good cold, but there’s never any leftover to try cold!
Prepping takes longer than the actual cook time leaving you time to enjoy the party and not standing over the grill! Actually, maybe I should stand over the grill longer and not at the bar……..
It’s Bacon Month and we’re celebrating each week with a new giveaway!

I agree with you. I like the bacon flavor but not the soggy bacon. Feta cheese and cream cheese seems like an interesting combination. Definitely like the sound of this recipe.
Paula says
Thanks, I hope you like it. I love the tang of feta.
Kimberly H. Smith says
Love, love, love! Pinned it. We wrap jalapeno peppers in bacon and grill them and you are so right about it not getting crispy that way. I must try lying the peppers face open like that too. #FoodieFridays

I’m not usually a jalapeno fan, but these might just change my mind 🙂
Paula says
I usually like only a small amount, but the grilling must make them milder.

Michelle @ A Dish of Daily Life says
Those look awesome! I could eat those anytime! And bacon makes everything taste better…it’s a running joke with our family that isn’t really a joke! Pinning!!
Paula says
Same here! After a month of cooking with bacon for Bacon Month, I’m still putting it on everything!!
Becca from It's Yummi! says
There’s nothing sadder than limp bacon. Your idea to stuff rather than wrap is just plain ‘ol culinary genius 🙂
Paula says
Becca, your comments always make me feel good! Thanks, friend.
