BBQ’d Stuffed Jalapeño Poppers
Oh goodness, these are a delicious entree for your next BBQ. The seeds are what add the heat, so this recipe is written to be not particularly spicy. However, simply mix some of the seeds into the mixture and you will have a much spicier finger food.
Recipe Tester Feedback: “A great little snack or canapé. I'm not a fan of 'belt you in the face' heat, and I found these really lovely. If you wanted a lot more of a spice kick, I would suggest reserving some of the seeds when you empty the jalapeños and adding a small amount to the mixture." - Tammy
