Recipe Instructions

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
Step 2
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes.
Step 3
Increase oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Step 4
Slice jalapeños in the shape of a "T." Cut a straight vertical line from top to bottom with a crosscut directly under the stem, making sure to cut only halfway through the jalapeños. Use a spoon to remove and discard all seeds and membranes. Place jalapeños on a baking sheet.
Step 5
Transfer jalapeños to a bowl of ice water for a few minutes to extract the rest of the seeds' oil. Blot dry with a paper towel.
Step 6
Spread 1 tablespoon cream cheese inside each jalapeño. Place about 2 ounces brisket inside each, then wrap with a slice of bacon. Place poppers on a baking sheet and season with salt and pepper.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and brush the tops with BBQ sauce. Return to the oven and bake 5 more minutes.
