Stuffed Jalapenos
Stuffed jalapeños with meat, salsa and cheese. These make a great hot appetizer or even a main dish.
Do the same thing with mini bell peppers. Bite-size appetizers not your bag? Use the same filling in bell peppers or poblanos for a main dish. Just bake the peppers 30-40 minutes until cooked through. You can also do the same recipe with ground beef if you dont eat pork.
