AVOCADO STUFFED CHEDDAR JALAPENOS
12 large Jalapenos
2 ripe avocados
1/3 cup sour cream
salt and pepper to taste
12 slices aged cheddar

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • With gloved hands clean and seed the Jalapenos
  • Mash avocados.
  • Mix avocados, sour cream, salt and pepper until well blended.
  • Fill each Jalapeno.
  • Bake 30 minutes.
  • Top with Cheddar and bake 5 minutes more.


TIP: The chemical capsaicin, the component that makes peppers and chiles hot, is a tricky one. Drinking water does not relieve the burn. Capsaicin bonds with fat, so cream, whole milk, yogurt, and other creamy things are your best antidote. If you’re cutting chiles you can prevent irritation by coating your skin with oil before you start working with the chiles, or wearing gloves for chopping.

I am going to have to do these on the smoker too! Excellent idea. Might as well do the meat loaf at the same time, no need in wasting the empty space on the Egg, lol.

All of that looks awesome, but those peppers are just devastating. I never thought to use Better than Base like that before either, that’s a great idea.

Those peppers are absolutely great!

and pumping up the meatloaf is always a good idea. It took a bot to convince my wife to not be afraid of jalapenos in moderation… 1 per pound is something that adds flavor, but does not over power… great post all around
