Bgt Bacon Guacamole And Tomato With Chips And Chorizo Jalapeno Poppers Recipes

JALAPENO POPPER AND BACON MEATBALLS

Steps:

• Position the oven rack in the top third of the oven and preheat to broil. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly coat with cooking spray.
• Pulse the jalapenos and parsley in a mini food processor until finely chopped and transfer to a medium bowl. Add the meatloaf mix, breadcrumbs, egg, 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper, but do not mix the ingredients yet. Place in the refrigerator to keep cold.
• Pulse the bacon in the mini food processor until finely chopped and add to the meat mixture. Mix together using a rubber spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
• Dampen your hands with water and shape the meat mixture into 30 meatballs (each about 1 inch diameter) or use a 1-tablespoon ice cream scooper. Make an indentation in the center of each meatball with your thumb and stuff with a frozen cream cheese cube. Mold the meat around the cream cheese. Work quickly so that the meatballs stay cold. Arrange the meatballs on the prepared baking sheet.
• Broil until golden brown and firm, 6 to 7 minutes, rotating the baking sheet halfway through.
• Meanwhile, stir the maple syrup and Sriracha together in a small bowl.
• Brush the top of each meatball with the syrup mixture. Broil 1 minute and 45 seconds more. Top each meatball with a Cheddar square. Broil for about 15 seconds more until melted.
