Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.
We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!
There hasn't been a new post in this section for a while. Has everyone stopped eating?
It's getting into BBQ season so here is something to add as a starter or side to you BBQ dish. Jalapeno Poppers:
1- If you don't like them real hot, putting peppers in the fridge for 3-4 days will remove most of the hot. 2- Cut in half and remove seeds 3- Mix together philly cream cheese and your favorite graded cheese(s) then fill the inside of each pepper with it. 4- Wrap each pepper with bacon strips. Secure it all with toothpicks.
Place on grill. When the bacon is done, so are the jalapenos.
Goes very well with frozen margaritta.

When it comes to the hereafter, I want to be in the no smoking section.
I use almost the same recipe. I cut peppers length wise, remove seeds. Combine cram cheese, shredded cheese and some chilli powder. Fill each half with cheese mixture. Then roll in seasoned bread crumbs. Layer them in baking dish. I also then sprinkle more chlli powder on top. Bake in oven at 350 until peppers are desired softness.
take Jumbo shrimp (oxymoran eh??) and butterfly, put a slice of jalapeno inside the shrimp amd wrap with 1/3 slice bacon and toothpick it closed, grill till done.
to server put each in a tray and top with thin slice of monterey jack cheese.... the cheese will melt and make this dish very scrumptuous...
... oh and this too goes well with a tall frosty adult beverage (of you choice - of course)...
Hey TXRVr I use the same recipe, but cut tops off of peppers to stuff with cheese. We use a Texas shaped holder and place them on the grill with Mesquite wood.
Man I need to smoke a brisket. Hard to keep that sucker lite though.
We have an apple corer that is serrated that works perfectly for cleaning out the jalapenos. It's also a peeler, but we've never used it for that - just for seeding and de-veining the jalapenos.

TXRVr, Sorry about the late responce. We've been getting the house ready to sell. I use a small cheap paring knife, the blade is about 2" long. Bought several in a pack with plastic handles.
We had a small "chile grill" but gave it to good friends, now we have a huge (18) one so we just don't use it - the two of us don't need 18 poppers. Plus it's hard to to get really good jalapenos.
Filling ideas that we've tried:
peanut butter and berry jam with bacon on top - OMG (This is amazing!)
goat cheese with herbs with bacon on top
mozzerella with pepperoni or salami on top
cream cheese with diced black olives & ??? with bacon on top
cream cheese mixed with salsa with bacon on top.
plain cheddar, jack, or colby cheese with bacon on top
pepperjack cheese with bacon on top
shredded jack cheese and chorizo - don't need to top this one
These are things that we've tried and served to friends. Surprisingly the peanut butter and jam was one of the absolute favorites.
We just sliced, bagged, and froze about 8 pounds of home cured double smoked (over sweet woods and maple) bacon so we're ready for some poppers - now I just need some people and peppers!
