• jalapeno pepper
• cream cheese
• bacon
• kosher salt
• black pepper
• bbq sauce

Instructions

1. 1 Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
2. 2 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.
3. 3 Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes.
4. 4 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.
5. 5 Increase oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
6. 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.
7. 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.

Ingredients

• ✓ brisket
• kosher salt
• black pepper
• cayenne pepper
• butter
• yellow onion
• salt
• garlic
• rosemary
• apple juice

Instructions

1. 1 Season both sides of the brisket generously with salt, pepper, and cayenne. For best results, place brisket over an aluminum foil "rack" set over a plate and refrigerate, uncovered, 8 to 12 hours.
2. 2 Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
3. 3 Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and salt. Cook and stir until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic, rosemary, and apple juice. Increase heat to high and boil until liquid is reduced by about half, about 3 minutes.
4. 4 Transfer half of the apple-onion mixture into a baking dish. Place brisket fat-side up on top; cover with remaining apple-onion mixture. Cover baking dish tightly with foil.
5. 5 Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour 30 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 250 degrees F (121 degrees C) and bake until fork-tender, about 2 hours 15 minutes. Check for doneness after 2 hours.
6. 6 Transfer brisket to a plate and tent with foil.
7. 7 Pour the onions and braising liquid into a large measuring cup or bowl. Skim some fat off the top. Puree with a stick blender to create a gravy.
8. 8 Slice brisket across the grain and serve with the gravy.
