When I first saw Skelley's post about the Wolf Turds, I had to try then as they looked great. Then I saw Gary's post about a simplified stuffed jalapeño and I liked the idea of incorporating the bacon into the stuffing, so I thought I would use this approach.
The stuffing recipe reminded me of a bagel cream cheese spread that I used to buy, however it also included an onion flavour, therefore I modified the recipe to my preference.
1 - 8 ounce package of cream cheese
100 grams of feta cheese
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
8 strips of cooked and crumbled bacon
3 - 4 tablespoons of liquified bacon grease from frying the bacon
2 tablespoons of onion powder
I fried the bacon, then put it in a food processor to break it down. Then I added all the other ingredients into the processor to blend well to incorporate the flavours into a spreadable consistency. Once I cleaned the peppers, I stuffed them and into the smoker at 225 for two hours.
I stuffed 17 peppers, but this recipe will be enough for about 30 - 35 peppers depending on the size of each pepper. The peppers turned out great, the bacon grease and onion powder really enhanced the flavour, and I have to say, this spread is amazing on a toasted bagel.
