In my family, dinner time is the most important meal of the day. It is understood that if you miss dinner, you had better have a damn good reason. The 9 of us look forward to enjoying the day spent outside and finishing it off with a good meal. Our favorites are often cooked on the barbeque. One that we have come to love more and more are hot pepper poppers.

CaveTools Hot Pepper Popper Coring Tool
If you are a regular hot pepper popper maker (say that three times fast) then you know how much fun it is to core and deseed a hot pepper. With this handy coring tool, it’s as simple as chopping the top and plunging the tool into the pepper. Now turn 360 degrees, and remove from the pepper. It’s like frickin MAGIC. The flesh, the seeds and the core, all come out trapped within the stainless steel tool. Boom. 24 peppers took me 10 min to decore and deseed.

Hot Pepper Poppers On The BBQ!
After you take the seeds out, you gotta rinse them. Mix up the filling and stuff those hot pepper poppers. Go ahead and get your hands dirty like Auntie Karen here! Can’t take the heat? No big deal. I also make these for the delicate tummies as well. Just use the sweet peppers in place of the hot ones.
Now it’s time to use your rack. ( I have been struggling with how to use the rack in a word play kind of way and I just can not without being way to NSFW!!) My tip? The bigger around the pepper is, the better it will fit. I came across two peppers that would not fit in the rack. But, I was thinking on my toes and used a sweet pepper to hold it in! Bam!
Tips For A Great Meal
I have played with this recipe lots and come to know only one thing to be 100% true when it comes to making hot pepper poppers, and they are:
- Cheese Please – Lots of cheese. We love the combo of cream cheese, cheddar, and pepper jack
- Don’t Skimp On The Bacon- I love to use thick cut peppered bacon, but if all you have is bits, then get it, girl. Bacon the hell out of it!
And, because I love a good printable, and I love a great recipe, even more, I have made you a print or download version, to keep and share! From our family to your family, ENJOY!

That seems to look yummm… As an Indian I love having spicy food… And this seems perfect 😊👍🏼
Such a creative way of preparing a dish! It looks so delicious and yummy! Spicy food is also popular in our place. You can even have spicy ice cream.
WOW! These look so delicious and the recipe is quite easy to follow too! Definitely going to try this for date night!
LOL, I don’t do anything HOT. I tease my daughter-in-law (who I will be sharing this post with) that she is always trying to kill me by offering me spicy foods. For her, the hotter the better.
Alas, peppers and I are not friends. Even the smell of them puts me off. Hopefully you’ve got pepper loving friends over for your BBQ!!!
They look so dangerous and amazingly fantastic!! I love that pepper tray and the tool too!
Looks absolutely mouth watering . I love hot and spicy food. I like to eat bell peppers just plain as well.
These look delicious. Love all peppers! I’ve never heard of pepper poppers before, but that rack sure looks like it will come in handy when making these. Yum!
I love to eat peppers and the way you cook them really looks so yummy! What a useful tool to prepare the peppers indeed – such an innovative design!
OMG!! I really love hot and spicy food.These peppers make me mouthwatering!I really like the way that you prepare these peppers,specially the tool to remove the seeds!
Looks like such an amazing recipe. I do love peppers and everything just a little bit spicy. I know that goring peppers can be difficult. I will have to check out this tool.
Dinner always feels great especially when you have it with family. This hot pepper poppers does look like a nice meal to try out.
This pepper rack from Crave Tools is something I am going to have to get for sure. My family love stuffed hot peppers because my grandmother used to make them all the time for everyone. Thanks for sharing the recipe.
Mmmm, that looks mouthwatering and so appetizing! I love to taste that even the spicy ones!
Mmmmm cheese and bacon sound so good! I love it! Stuffed peppers are such a good thing to make for a large group.
whew…those look good. i’m a big girl and can take hot and spicey pretty well. The pepper rack is a pretty cool idea. i know quite a few people that would have an easier time on the grill with one of those.
looks really yummy but I think it could be too hot for me;)
I love spicy food and am surely gonna try this . Thnaks for sahring this
That rack is really cool! I need to get myself one, I make poppers a lot and I always struggle with the filling coming out. Your recipe looks delicious.
I like the idea of putting them into the grill. I am such HUGE spicy fan person this would be perfect for football sundays.
My niece and nephew would love this! They LOVEEE poppers
I love spicy food! These look so amazing!
Bacon wrapped poppers have become a Thanksgiving tradition. I love poppers and for whatever reason have never made these. The tray is perfect. Wonder if you can use the rack for bacon wrapped poppers?
I think that it would work. I use toothpicks to hold the smaller peppers in place and I think it would work for the bacon as well! And yes, that tray is amazing. Works great for drumsticks as well!
Wow this looks great and I don’t even like spicey food! I have to try this 🙂
