Macaroni and Cheese Stuffed Jalapeno Poppers
We’ve seen a variation of this jalapeno poppers recipe in restaurants, basically big balls of macaroni and cheese deep fried, and hey, they’re pretty good, but when you get it all stuffed into a jalapeno pepper, the goodness increases a thousand fold.
NOTE: We tried this with leftover macaroni and cheese and it turned out just as delicious!
Ingredients
- 10 jalapeno peppers
- 5 ounces cooked macaroni and cheese (choose your favorite brand)
- 5 ounces cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 egg
- 1 cup bread crumbs
Cooking Directions
- Remove stems from the jalapeno peppers and remove innards through the top with a pepper corer. If you do not have a corer, use a knife or very thin spoon.
- Stuff each jalapeno with layers of macaroni noodles and cheddar cheese.
- In a shallow bowl, beat the egg.
- Dip the stuffed jalapeno peppers into the egg, then coat with bread crumbs.
- Bake at 375 degrees for 20-30 minutes, or until peppers are heated through and turning golden brown.
- Serve with melted cheese over the top, or with a simple chili sauce for dipping. Or both!
