- Sprinkle insides of cut jalapeños lightly with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Place the jalapeños on a cookie sheet. Place sheet in preheated oven. Cook for about 10 minutes. (Skip this step if you prefer your finished jalapeños to be more raw and crunchy.)
- Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly so you can handle them.
- In a medium bowl, mix cream cheese with onion, to taste, and ham, to taste.
- Add in a bit of barbecue rub and mix well. Taste. Add more barbecue rub (onion and ham, too), to taste if necessary.
- Add a generous helping of cream cheese mixture to each jalapeño.
- Wrap each jalapeño with bacon.
- Sprinkle with sriracha seasoning, to taste.
- Place jalapeños back on cookie sheet and place back in oven.
- Cook, watching closely, until cream cheese is hot and bubbling, or bacon is done, about 15 - 20 minutes. Check to make sure jalapeños and bacon are done to your liking. If not, place back in oven for more time.
- Remove from oven when done and enjoy hot.
