Jalapeno Cream Cheese Cocktail Meatballs Recipes

JALAPENO POPPER MEATBALLS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Lightly spray a 9x13 pan or four sided baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray.
• In a medium-size mixing bowl, combine ground beef, onion, jalapenos, bread crumbs, cheddar cheese, milk, Worcestershire sauce, basil, and salt. Mix thoroughly until ingredients are evenly distributed.
• Shape into 20 roughly shaped meatballs. Divide the cream cheese into 20 tablespoon-sized pieces, one for each meatball. Working one at a time, take a meatball and flatten it in the palm of your hand. Place a piece of cream cheese in the center and wrap the meatball around the cheese, sealing it inside the middle.
• Place the fully shaped meatballs into the prepared baking pan.
• Cook in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes. Serve hot.

JALAPENO MEATBALLS

Steps:

• Make the dressing for dipping: Stir together all ingredients listed for the dressing. Refrigerate while making meatballs so that flavors have time to combine.
• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Make the meatballs: Add all the meatball ingredients to a large bowl and combine well.
• Take meat mixture and roll into balls. I scoop the meat mixture into a 1/4 cup measuring cup (use a smaller or larger one depending on the size you want for your meatballs), then I shake the meat mixture out of the measuring cup and shape into a ball. It usually shakes out of the cup pretty much in a ball shape so it doesn't take much to make it into a ball. Place 1- 2 inches apart in pan. Bake 14 - 15 minutes.

DRESSING: In a medium mixing bowl whisk together the mayo and sour cream, then slowly whisk in the buttermilk. Whisk in garlic, vinegar, parsley, chives, and dill. Season to taste with salt and pepper. From here you can tweak it to your own individual taste by adding more mayo, buttermilk, vinegar, or herbs. Refrigerate. Preheat oven to 425°F.
