Jalapeno Popper Hand Pies

November 1, 2015 by Matt Robinson 15 Comments

Calling all tailgaters! Here is some game day grub you don’t want to miss. This is your favorite appetizer stuffed into a hand pie.

Yep, it’s crazy good and crazy addicting, so be prepared to have a few. And since they are nearly bite-sized, you don’t have worry if more than a few make their way onto your plate.

Now for the second best part of this dish—it’s super easy to make—you can throw everything into a food processor for a quick prep. If you don’t have one, a chef’s knife and a little chopping and mixing is all you need to make these. From there you can use your favorite pie crust recipe, or any ready-made pie crust will work as well . To control the heat add in a Serrano pepper or throw in a few jalapeño seeds into the mix. The recipe as it is written is pretty mild in heat. For the cheese I used Cabot’s Smoky Bacon Cheddar Cheese. If you aren’t able to find it, just chop in some bacon and you’re good to go.

That’s it. So easy!
