Jalapeno Popper recipe cooked on the grill for an easy grill appetizer recipe that is delicious, low carb and ketogenic.
Jalapeno poppers are like BBQ tradition. If you’re not making jalapeno poppers, are you really bbqing? Is it really game day? I’m not sure. I just know that jalapeno poppers are a great finger food, super easy to make and taste great on the grill.
Of course, you can make them in the oven as well but something about the grill just gives them that delightfully smoky flavor. Plus, what’s better than standing at the grill, cold drink in your hand, friends around you in the backyard, music playing in the background…. ahhh, the life.
I like to pre-make jalapeno poppers and even take them on picnics because they are the type of food that doesn’t necessarily have to be piping hot to be delicious. They are still good lukewarm.
If you’re a seasoned pro, you can definitely wrap these suckers in bacon or just top with some bacon bites, but this time, we’re just going with a good ol’ traditional cheese stuffed jalapeno.
