Tips
It is easiest to bake the stuffed jalapeños, but you can grill or smoke the jalapeños.
I use a meat chopper to grind the meat into tiny pieces. If you do not have a meat chopper, you can find one here: Farberware Professional Heat Resistant Nylon Meat and Potato Masher, Safe for Non-Stick Cookware.
Serve the stuffed jalapeno poppers by themselves or with a side of ranch. Your friends and family will love them! Enjoy!
