Pepper Poppers with Chili Filling

Pepper poppers with chili filling are a delicious and spicy appetizer that is perfect for serving at parties or gatherings. These bite-sized treats pack a flavorful punch and are sure to be a hit with anyone who loves a bit of heat.

To make pepper poppers with chili filling, start by selecting fresh, large peppers such as jalapeños or Anaheim peppers. Carefully cut off the tops of the peppers and remove the seeds and membranes to reduce their heat level.

Next, prepare the chili filling by combining ground beef, diced onions, minced garlic, and your favorite chili spices in a skillet. Cook the mixture until the beef is browned and the flavors have melded together. Allow the filling to cool slightly before spooning it into the hollowed-out peppers.

Once the peppers are filled with the chili mixture, top each one with a sprinkle of shredded cheese for a gooey and melty finish. Bake the pepper poppers in the oven until the peppers are tender and the cheese is bubbly.

These pepper poppers with chili filling are a fantastic appetizer that will satisfy anyone looking for a spicy snack. Serve them alongside a cooling dip, such as sour cream or guacamole, to balance out the heat. Enjoy these poppers as a crowd-pleasing dish that will keep your guests coming back for more.
