Do you love jalapeno peppers filled with cream cheese? These are the perfect addition to a meal, a party, or just as a snack. Maybe you aren’t lucky enough to live near Luby’s.

Luby’s is a cafeteria-style restaurant that makes everything scratch and fresh for you. One of their offerings is these delicious stuffed jalapenos.

What Makes Luby’s Stuffed Jalapenos Special

You may wonder what makes these stuffed jalapenos so special and delicious. Using pickled jalapenos from a can makes these stuffed jalapenos amazing.

Pickled jalapenos aren’t too hot. Sometimes when you enjoy fresh jalapenos they can be too hot, but the pickling of this pepper seems to help regulate the heat. Cream cheese also helps to cool the heat.

Another reason is how pimento peppers and green onions really bump up the flavor. Plus they add color to make both a feast for the eyes and the tummy.

How to Make Stuffed Jalapenos

Did I mention that these are quick and easy to prepare? You can make these stuffed peppers in no time. Who doesn’t love it when you can put together a delicious bite together in a few minutes?

  • Mix together softened cream cheese and mayonnaise until fluffy.
  • Stir in pimento peppers and green onions.
  • Fill jalapenos with cream cheese mixture.

I also love that these can be prepared ahead of time and served later. Just keep refrigerated until serving.

These stuffed jalapenos are vegetarian, low carb, and keto-friendly. A great appetizer or snack to serve at a party or bring to a potluck.

    You need to buy Faro brand pickled jalapeños to guarantee they won’t be too hot! Also, a big plus, they are already halved and seeded, all you have to do is drain them and they are ready to use, most others come whole and you have to cut them in half and seed them! I’ve been making these for forty plus years! These can be hard to find, you can order them online! This is the only brand I will ever use, if I can’t find it, I want make them!

    I was a Luby’s manager and want to point out 1 nissing ingredient. All of these recipes are very similar and good, but they are missing one ingredient that makes the right flavor.

    Anchovy paste.

    It is not fishy, but more umami. We made it in larger quantities, but about 1 tsp I would guess with this size batch.

    Cheers

    Thank You, Stephanie! :)))
    I had a feeling they weren’t too hot, but since I’ve only used fresh in the past, I wasn’t sure…
