Prep Time: 20 minutes / Cook Time: 8 hours / Yields: 20 jalapeno poppers
Step 1
Preheat your grill/smoker to 250 degrees and set it for indirect heat cooking.
Step 2
Spread the yellow mustard over the pork shoulder and season with the BBQ Seasoning on all sides. Place the pork on the grill/smoker and cook for 5-6 hours, until the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees.
Step 3
Place the pork shoulder in an alluminium foil pan, top with the Domino Light Brown sugar, butter and wrap the pan tightly with alluminium foil.
Step 4
Increase the grill/smoker temperature to 300 degrees, place the foil pan on the grill and cook for an additional 2-3 hours, until it reaches an internal temperature of 200 degrees.
Step 5
Remove the pan from the grill, allow the pork to rest for 1 hour and then shred the meat with 2 forks. Steps 1-5 can be made ahead of time and the shredded pork can be refrigerated.
Step 6
To make the jalapeno poppers, cut the jalapeno peppers lengthwise and scoop out the seeds and membrane.
Step 7
In a mixing bowl, combine the pulled pork, cream cheese, shredded cheese, bbq seasoning and mix until well combined.
Step 8
Take a coop of the filling and spread it inside the jalapeno pepper halves. Cut the bacon strips in half and wrap the peppers with the bacon
Step 9
Place the bacon wrapped jalapeno poppers back on the grill, set to 300 degrees indirect heat and cook for 25-30 minutes, until the bacon firms up.
Step 10
Combine all the bbq sauce ingredients in a small sauce pan, bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and cook for 10-15 minutes until the sauce thickens up.
Step 11
Brush the bbq sauce to the jalapeno poppers during the last 5 minutes of cooking and allow the sauce to set.
Step 12
Remove the jalapleno poppers from the grill, allow to cool for 5-10 minutes, serve and enjoy!
Additional Tips
- Try to find thicker jalapeno peppers so they will hold more of the filling when cut in half
- This recipe only uses 1 cup of the shredded pulled pork, the rest can be frozen and stored for future use. Combined with bbq sauce, it makes amazing pulled pork sandwiches.
