Cornbread Jalapeno Poppers
It seems that I look for any excuse to fill a hollowed out jalapeno pepper. I love poppers. It doesn’t matter if they are deep fried, baked, grilled or smoked, because jalapeno poppers are the perfect game day food.
Not only do I love jalapeno poppers, but I also love cornbread. Perfect with chili, or any soup for that matter, cornbread is the perfect accompaniment. I love to have minced pickled jalapeno peppers mixed in the cornbread. That spicy tart flavour goes so well in the cornbread. So, I figured, if jalapeno peppers are good in cornbread, why wouldn’t cornbread be good in a jalapeno pepper! These poppers are amazing and the perfect spicy bite size cornbread treat.
Here are some of the jalapeno popper recipes I have posted so far on the site.
