Let’s be real for a second, Jalapeno Poppers are the shit. A little spice mellowed out with that amazing Cream Cheese. Honestly, you could stop there and people would still mow these down and compliment you. HOWEVER, with a little extra effort, you can take them to an AMAZING level! Plus…they’re baked! Not fried! I don’t think you’re ready for these Baked Jalapeno Poppers…and the secret sauce made just for these!!
New Year’s Resolutions
First, Merry New Year! You did it! You made it through 2020. Let’s all collectively make 2021 our bitch! Anywho, with New Year’s so many people do the whole “New Year, New Me”. I thought I’d help ya out! These morsels of bombass flavor are both low carb and dirty Keto friendly (ALL OF THE BAD FATS ARE YOU FRIEND!) You know what else…nearly all of our seasonings are, too! Want to know what that little dipping sauce is…too bad! Keep er’ movin’.
Baked Jalapeno Poppers
I’ll be real, the title of this should be Cheeseburger Jalapeno Poppers! I didn’t do that because people don’t search for that a lot and Google wouldn’t like it. If you’re an employee of Google…I’m super sorry. I don’t mean anything bad! I’m talking about everyone else, I swear! DON’T BAN ME!!
**Clears Throat** Sorry. So, a couple of paragraphs ago, I said I was taking these to the next level. How did I do that, you ask? It is literally a slightly spicy, Cheeseburger (without the bun…remember…low carb!). Within the stuffing: Cheese of the Cream kind, Hamburger, and a dab of Green Onion! Don’t forget that Burger Blend TTGF seasoning!
Bacon Aioli
ANNNNND NOOOOOOWWW, THE MOMENT YOU’VE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR!!!! Entering your gullet with a record of a bazillion and O. The World Champion of dipping sauce. His fans call him “The Artery Clogger”….BA-BA-BA-BACON AIOOOOOOOOOOOOOLIIIIIII!
I know that was a little extra, but holy shit…this is BOMB! NEVER APOLOGIZE FOR BEING EXTRA! Whenever you can add chopped up Bacon and straight up Bacon Grease to something and call it “diet” food, I am f***in’ down!
