Buffalo Chicken Stuffed Jalapeno Poppers Recipe

A fun take on traditional jalapeno poppers. These are spicy and tangy, and a popular variation. Fun!

Buffalo Chicken Stuffed Jalapeno Poppers Recipe - Super Bowl Recipes

Ingredients

  • 2 large jalapeno peppers
  • 1-2 ounces cream cheese
  • 1-2 ounces cooked chicken
  • 1/4 cup of your favorite Buffalo Sauce
  • 1 egg
  • Seasoned bread crumbs
  • Oil for deep frying

Cooking Directions

  1. Cut the tops off of the jalapeno peppers and core them using a knife or pepper corer.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine cooked chicken and Buffalo sauce. Heat in a small pan or you can even nuke it a minute or two.
  3. Stuff each jalapeno pepper with layers of cream cheese and Buffalo chicken, until full. The amount will vary by the size of the jalapeno.
  4. Coat stuffed jalapeno peppers with egg and then dip into bread crumbs. Coat thoroughly.
  5. In a deep pan, add enough oil to deep fry the peppers. Add the jalapenos to heated oil and cook 3-5 minutes. Flip peppers over and cook another 3-5 minutes.
  6. Serve!

Note: This will get the jalapeno poppers good and crispy. If you prefer to cook without oil or deep frying, you can always bake the jalapeno poppers for 20-30 minutes instead at 375 degrees.

Mike's Roasted Jalapeno Pepper Chuck Chili

This is a beanless chilli with meaty Black Angus Chuck roast that will surely satisfy the biggest appetite. We roasted our jalapeno peppers before adding them to the mix for that sweet and succulent flavor you won’t get with unroasted chilies, though I’m sure it would be delicious unroasted, too. For additional flavor, we added red wine, and you’ll notice the effect. As a variation, try beer instead of wine and see how you like the difference.

Mike's Roasted Jalapeno Pepper Chuck Chilli

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds Black Angus Chuck Roast, cut into large chunks
  • 1 large yellow onion, chopped
  • 2 large jalapeno pepper, roasted and chopped
  • 4 Roma tomatoes, chopped
  • 15 ounces tomato sauce
  • 2 tablespoons dark chili powder
  • 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 cup red wine
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Cooking Directions

  • Heat a large pan to medium heat and add olive oil. Add onion and cook about 2-3 minutes.
  • Season Chuck Roast with salt and pepper then add to the pan. Brown about 5 minutes. This will help seal in the flavor and juices.
  • While Chuck Roast is cooking, add remaining ingredients to a large crock pot or slow cooker and mix well.
  • Add Chuck Roast and onions. Stir.
  • Cook on high heat for 2 hours, then reduce heat to medium and cook for at least one more hour. You can leave it in longer for the meat to grow more tender.
  • Serve!

  4. Transfer to a mixing bowl.
  5. Add chives and salt and pepper to taste.
