Jalapenos stuffed with ground meat
Spicy pepper snacks filled with ground meat
Ingredients
- 10 jalapeno peppers
- 250 g ground beef
- 100 gr bacon diced
- 2 cloves garlic finely chopped or grated
- ½ onion finely chopped
- ½ tsp chili powder
- ½ tsp smoked paprika powder la Chinata; the sweet one
- 2 tbsp mascarpone
- 20 gr old cheese grated
- A few drops tabasco sauce
Instructions
- Preheat oven at 150˚C (300˚F). Cut jalapeno peppers in half lengthwise, remove seeds and white membranes and place them next to each other on a baking plate lined with baking paper.
- Bake the diced bacon until crisp and then let dry on some kitchen paper
- Cook the ground meat, garlic and onion together with the paprika powder in a frying pan until it is brown. Remove the grease from the pan.
- Chop the bacon with a kitchenknife, so it becomes a crispy crumb.
- Blitz the ground meat mix briefly in a blender so it gets less coarse. Mix the cream cheese with the chili powder and 2/3 of the bacon crumb and add it to the meat. Make a well combined mixture.
- Scoop meat mixture into the jalapeno halves and top off with some grated cheese. Put in the oven for about 30 minutes.
- Remove from oven and sprinkle with the remaining bacon crumb. Finish off by adding a drop of Tabasco on the centre of each Jalapeno and there is your spicy snack.
- Best buddies with a nice cold beer.
