Almost every grocery now has a salad bar or a deli counter. Most have both. And on almost every one of them you will find Crab Salad.
Store-bought Crab Salad makes absolutely delicious Crab Salad Jalapeño Poppers.
A BBQ-Style Jalapeño Poppers Recipe
I ain’t gonna lie to you – I developed this recipe and make it most often with the Crab Salad from the Kroger Deli. Part of that is just that seeing the crab salad in the display case makes me think of them. Part of it is that Kroger makes really good crab salad. When you consider that most crab salad recipes only have 5 or 6 ingredients – Crab, Mayo, Celery, Sugar, a couple spices is usually it – it’s no mystery why supermarkets can nail it pretty easily.
The first time I took these to a tailgating, they were made straight up with the Kroger Crab Salad. And, no kidding, my Crab Salad Jalapeño Poppers were the hit of the day. Even my grilling buds who make poppers frequently were impressed. Most of them had never thought of using crab, much less crab salad, in jalapeño poppers .
There is just something almost magical about the way the crab and the cream cheese blend with the roasted jalapeño peppers that you’ll just have to taste for yourself to believe.

Ingredients
The first thing you will notice immediately is that our recipe does not have quantities listed for the ingredients. This is by design.
Jalapeños come in many different sizes and shapes (often depending upon the time of year). Their size, the cut you choose (see below) and your own personal tastes will determine how much cream cheese, bacon or other ingredients you put into each pepper. Use your tastes and be sure to experiment a bit.
Cooking
You will also notice that most directions call for cooking the poppers in an oven. This is because that is the easiest and quickest way for most of us to cook and enjoy jalapeño poppers year round. But if you want to grill, smoke or cook your poppers any other way – Almost every recipe we have will work. We will let you know if it won’t.
