7 Jalapeño Poppers to Get Your Next Party Started

We all know that the addictiveness of the savory everything spice blend is amplified when paired with smooth cream cheese. Each popper is bursting with flavor and a variety of optional toppings keeps each bite interesting (and makes for a gorgeous platter). It seems you've found your new go-to party appetizer. Make sure that the jalapenos are par-cooked  before adding the cream cheese filling to ensure that the cream cheese doesn't burn. 

Beefy, cheesy, taco-tasting poppers that are deep-fried and delicious... what more could you ask for in an appetizer?

Think beyond tortilla chips for this crowd-pleasing dip.

We suggest mini sweet peppers because their sweetness helps offset the heat of the jalapeños.
