Smoked Peppers in the NEW Smokin-It Pepper Holders

[DivotMaker]

Got my hands on the new pepper holders, and I like them!  They're made in the USA from solid 304 stainless steel, and are nice.

I didn't have any jalapenos, but had a bag of sweet peppers and a couple of poblanos, so I made due for a test!

For the filling, there really wasn't any measuring involved, but here's how it went:

• 1/2 tub Philadelphia cream cheese
• 6 sliced of cooked thick-sliced bacon (Petit Jean), crumbled in the food processor
• A handful of fine-shredded Colby-Jack cheese
• About a handful of grated Parmesan cheese

After mixing the filling, and stuffing the peppers, they were topped with a little slice of Provolone cheese.  The poblanos were topped with the shredded cheese.
I smoked them at 225 for 2 hours, with about 2 oz. of peach.  They came out good, but needed a little more heat!  Jalapenos next time!

Tony, where's the bacon?

In the stuffing, Dave!  I saw this done before, and tried it.  I think the wrap is better, although the bacon doesn't get crispy.

Tony , I have been toying with the idea of purchasing the pepper holder with the big hole's  for doing stuffed peppers and Jalapenos which most likely will be sooner then later .

Tony,

I like the idea of the holder that has the large and small holes, where did you find that?

Thanks Greg

Greg, Steve sells 2 pepper racks--1 small hole, the other lg/sm hole.  Same price for either.  You can find the single size pretty much anywhere,  but the 2 hole size is not.  Good catch Steve.

Excellent, I will get one ordered.

The big hole model is the first I've seen like that.  They are well-made, and work great!

I nuke my bacon to get a partial cook but remain flexible.  They get crisp without turning the pepper to mush.
