Jalapeno/cheddar stuffed meatballs

I don't know about melting the cheddar and letting it reharden. I would try mixing shredded cheddar and the jalapenos. At room tempature you should be able to hold this together and form your meatball around it. If you added taco seasoning to the meat it would taste like a shell-less taco. Let me know if you try it.

Mmmm, that sounds good. I never thought of doing that but you just gave me an idea. LoL.. Thank you. I will try doing mine by adding in shredded cheddar and some minced jalepenos into the meatball mixture, then form the balls and cook as normal. I don't think melting the cheese and letting it reharden would be too good, it may make the consistencly uneven or lumpy. Let me know what you try and how it turns out!! Happy cooking.

I wouldnt melt the cheese first, it goes a bit yucky after repeated melting.I would chop or grate the cheese, season it, add the chopped chilli (garlic too would be good). To make, I would take a ball of minced beef, make a dent in it, put a spoonful of the cheese mix into that then pinch the meat around the filling. With damp hands I would roll it all into a smooth ball, then I would roll it in rice four for a crispy coating (breadcrumbs might work too, or pinhead oatmeal) and either bake or fry the result. You should get something a bit like Scotch eggs, but with a cheesy middle.

That sure does sound good! I think what I would do is try using shredded cheddar to form a ball around the jalapeno, then surround with the meatball mixture and cook the meatballs in the oven. I love spicy food, so I think I'll try this some time. Thanks for the idea. Let us know how yours turns out.

i'm done something called an armadillo egg, i took jalapenos, deseeded them, filled them with cheddar or cream cheese. wrapped them in spicy sausage and then broiled them. they look like the eggs from the movie cocoon, but they taste delicious. you can get the spicy jimmy dean sausage and make them extra hot, or the regular and be just medium hot. the cheese helps to tone down the spiciness of the jalapenos.

That sounds good to me, thats probably how I would do it too...lol. I'm not the world's best cook either, so whenever I want to try something new, like you it looks good in my mind, but it may come out horribly...haha. It may work, or you can probably just take your cheddar, and cut up your jalapeno's and mix them in with your meat, and make your meatballs out of it, that might work too.

I've never made these but Hubby would probably like them. I'd think you could take sliced jalapeno's and cubes of cheese and mix them in with the meat for the meatballs. Then just cook as normal. Or you could put the cheese cube in the center of the meatball and chop the peppers up to mix in with the meat. Just ideas...

to eat all this hot stuff your stomache must be iron girl well this is several months old and im wondering how it worked. sounds good except the jalapenos i couldnt find a more recent discussion of yours. so here iam. btw, i do that to. think of things that sound good then they mess up on me. yes, since agra left iam having to relearn cooking

It sounds good in theory. I'd like to taste it to find out! I think you could take whole jalapenos , cut them in half, discard the seeds, Put a chunk of cheddar in between both pieces and then put the meat (mixed with egg, bread crumbs, and minced onion) around it. You would have to experiment with how long to cook them in the oven. Less time than regular meatballs since there's no meat in the middle. Maybe the jalepenos would be crunchy in which case you may want to bake them (without the cheese in them yet)first. Then go thru the steps. Let me know if you try it.

Oh boy I think you on to something. That sounds very possible and very Yummy. I will pass it on to my honey, he always likes to experiment with new ideas. Hopefully I get back to you soon.

I am also like you only. If my wife is not with me or some ideal position if I feel hungry I will try out something new but at the end at least it would be edible to eat. I have done many tests like this if I have time in the future I'll update all the methods i have carried to make some special dishes just I want to know are you are a vegetarian or non-vegetarian. Then I'll be able to post something to you when I see a good one(articles or methods to cook).

I haven't done jalapeno/cheddar stuffed meatballs but I would like to try one someday! I like eating jalapenos and cheddar cheese. I used to eat burger with jalapeno a lot back in my college days and i miss it.

I love Jalapenos and cheddar cheese the way I would make it is. I would melt the cheddar in the microwave then cut the Jalapeno up and mix it in. I would wait for the cheese to cool down then mix into my meat and seasonings then I would form into balls. But your ways sounds good to. Maybe I will make some tonight yum!

I cannot stand Jalapeno's they are sooo hot, I am not a fan of spicy food at all, so maybe without the peppers it might be alright.

No, I don't, since I'm at best an average cook. But let me correct you: it's not jalapenos, but jalapeños. How do I know? I live in Jalapa, would you believe it, and that's where they are supposed to come from, aren't they? I came across your post when I looked at your profile, and it's a funny coincidence, isn't it?

Thanks for the best response. I still have to try this myself! Sounds delish!
