Author Notes: I’ve always thought the basic premise for jalapeno poppers was good – hot peppers and cheese – but I couldn’t get around all that breading. With a record crop this year (at last count, three plants – produced 74 jalapenos!), it was time to figure out a better way. Watch them disappear. —MrsWheelbarrow
