Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to 400℉.
2
Start by removing the top part of the jalapeno. Then, with a sharp paring knife, make a straight cut along the back of the jalapeno (usually the flat side). Finally, use your fingers to separate and open up the pepper.
3
Take your paring knife and carefully remove the seeds from the jalapeno. If you prefer to keep a slight level of heat in the jalapeno, retain the white rib section and discard only the seeds.
4
Clean your jalapenos by rinsing them under water and washing away any seeds.
5
With a butter knife, fill half of the jalapeno's interior with cream cheese, making sure to use enough to help the brisket adhere and stay intact.
6
After filling the jalapenos with cream cheese, proceed to incorporate the brisket. Fill each jalapeno with shredded or chopped brisket.
7
Place a slice of thick cut bacon on a flat surface.
8
Start by attaching the bacon to the jalapeno using a toothpick, beginning on one side. Proceed to wrap the bacon around the jalapeno and use another toothpick to secure the opposite end.
9
To cook, arrange them on a baking sheet, preferably on a wire rack with a baking sheet underneath to collect any drippings. Cook for 20-30 minutes until the bacon is fully cooked and reaches your desired level of doneness.

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Dry Your Jalapeños Thoroughly 🌶️Pat jalapeños completely dry with paper towels before filling to prevent cream cheese from sliding out and ensure bacon crisps properly during cooking.
- Partially Cook Bacon First ⏱️Render bacon for 3-4 minutes before wrapping to ensure it crisps evenly and fully cooks through by the time the jalapeños are tender.
- Mix Brisket into Cream Cheese 🧈Finely chop smoked brisket and fold it directly into softened cream cheese before filling for better distribution and easier stuffing through the jalapeño cavity.
- Chill Before Cooking 🧊Refrigerate filled jalapeños for 15-20 minutes before baking to keep the cream cheese filling intact and prevent it from leaking out during cooking.
- Cook on a Wire Rack 🔳Bake on an elevated wire rack set over a baking sheet to allow bacon grease to drip away, resulting in crispier bacon and less grease absorption.
