Jalapeno Popper Stuffed Meatballs
Description
The meat mixture is blended with Worcestershire sauce and kosher salt for depth, then formed into meatballs. Each is flattened to encase a core of cubed cheddar, cream cheese, and jalapeno slices stripped of seeds for controlled heat. The meatballs are sealed and placed on a baking sheet before cooking in a 400-degree oven until fully cooked and browned for about 22-25 minutes.
The result is a juicy, cheesy center contrasted by the robust beef flavor and mild heat from the jalapeno. The combination yields a snack or appetizer with a touch of richness and spice from the popper-inspired filling inside a tender baked shell.
