should i boil jalapenos before stuffing

Bacon and spice is a perfect combo if you ask us, and it all comes to life in this stuffed jalapeños with bacon recipe. It makes a great appetizer before the big game or at a barbecue party. The ingredients are simple, but the taste is out-of-this-world good. And add points, too, for presentation – the jalapeños just look delicious plated with sauce. These’ll be on your short list for parties for sure.

If you like things a little spicier, opt for not boiling the jalapeño peppers prior to cooking. This will keep more of the pepper’s heat intact, as well as increase the overall crispness of the jalapeño. Or you could opt to add some extra heat through the dipping sauce. For instance, this Sriracha ranch dressing adds a nice touch of spiciness.

Jalapeños are by far the best chili to use here, as they are a perfect size with enough cavity to handle stuffing. But you do have other options. Fresno chilies (similarly shaped to jalapeños, similar heat, a touch sweeter) are excellent options. And serranos can work if you’re looking for a hotter chili, but their slimmer profile means less cavity for stuffing.
