Ingredients
  

  • 12 Fresh Jalapeños
  • 8 oz Cream Cheese
  • 6 oz Crab Meat
  • 1 pound Bacon regular thickness
  • Salt & Pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your grill to 375-400 degrees using only one burner on your grill. You will grill the poppers on the side on the grill that does not have flames under the grates (indirect heat). This will help prevent flare-ups caused by the grease dripping off the bacon.
    * NOTE: Never place food above an unlit infrared burner!
    Indirect heat
  • Combine cream cheese and crab meat in a bowl. Add salt & pepper to taste.
  • Cut stems off the Jalapeños. Slice each Jalapeno in half and scoop out the seeds with a spoon. You may want to wear plastic gloves when doing this part.
  • Fill each jalapeño half with cream cheese/crab meat mixture (approximately 1 tablespoon per popper)
  • Cut bacon slices in half (length-wise)
    Wrap filled Jalapeños with bacon
  • Wrap each cheese stuffed jalapeño with a bacon slice. If you are struggling to keep the bacon wrapped, use toothpicks or put on skewer if needed.
