I've been playing with stuffed Jalapenos recently. Here's my approach. I stuff my peppers with cream cheese and sausage, cover with bacon, then bake in a Dutch Oven.
First I fry up about 8 oz of country sausage (I get ground sausage at Alberson's but Jimmy Dean hot sausage would work too). Once cooled and drained well, I mix the sausage and cream cheese together.
Next I cut the tops off all of the peppers and use an apple corer to clean out the centers. I poke a hole in the bottom with a toothpick of each pepper so air can escape as I stuff in the cream cheese.
Once the prep is done, I put the cream cheese/sausage mixture in a gallon zip lock bag, cut off the tip of one corner, squeeze the mixture into the corner until it starts coming out. I fill each pepper by squeezing the bag. After all the peppers are filled, I wrap 1/2 piece of bacon over the top and secure it with a toothpick.
Although I haven't purchased one yet, I'll be ordering one of these racks in the near future. This one is sized to fit in a 10" Dutch Oven.
I bake the peppers for about 30 to 45 minutes, then serve! These things don't hang around for long.
I'm going to try some with grilled shrimp before too long. I'm hoping that the milder flavor of the shrimp can hold up against the stronger flavor of the jalapenos.
You can find a wide variety of racks here:
