How to Make Jalapeño Poppers with Brisket and Bacon:

• Prepare a grill fire to about 300°.
• Remove stems, slice jalapeños in half lengthwise, remove seeds and membrane.

• Roast jalapeños for 10 minutes in a skillet with the grill lid closed.

• Remove from grill and add to a bowl of ice water for 5 minutes, this will keep them from being too spicy.
• Remove jalapeños and pat dry with paper towels.

• Mix cream cheese, shredded cheddar, garlic and salt together.
• Spoon into jalapeño halves.

• Top with brisket and crumbled bacon.

• Drizzle with Dr Pepper Barbecue Sauce. 
• Grill over indirect heat for 15 minutes with lid closed. 

• Remove from grill and cool for 5 minutes before serving.
• Garnish with cilantro.

At least once a month and sometimes twice, we make a Smoked Brisket. It is seriously my favorite. I kind of turn into Bubba from Forrest Gump when I talk about brisket. 

We make Brisket Tacos, Brisket Nachos, Brisket Taquitos, Brisket Fried Rice and Brisket Sandwiches and now I can add Brisket Jalapeño Poppers to the list. If you are wondering what you can make with leftover brisket, I have you covered!

How to make the bacon crispy on jalapeño poppers:

I like to cook and crumble the bacon and add it to the top of these jalapeño poppers instead of wrapping the poppers in bacon. The bacon stays crispy this way but you can also wrap the stuffed poppers in bacon before baking.
