In my house ordering Pizza always ends up costing way too much money. We need a thin crust, a regular crust, a veggie, a meat, a spicy and an extra cheese. Nope, not all on the same maybe 1 or 2 Pizzas like sane people, Ohh NO! 😉
Well, now I’m one step closer to Pizza sanity since I took matters into my own hands and created this fun and tasty little inside-out Jalapeno Pizza. Perfect for those spicy Pizza people that always want to convert everyone else..lol!
These little guys are jam packed with huge flavor, so don’t let their size fool you! Spicy little Jalapeno Peppers are filled with gooey Mozzarella & Pepperoni, then snuggled in Pizza Crust and baked in a shallow pool of Marinara! Pizza is now totally ‘pop-able’!
~If you love Jalapenos on top of your Pizza, you’re going to adore these easy to eat, spicy little smile makers!
What you’ll need to satisfy at least 12 sassy & spicy Pizza lovers:
13 Fresh Jalapenos (makes 26 Poppers)
1 container of Pillsbury Pizza Crust (thin crust)
Cheese Sticks (approx. 13..cut in half)
Pepperoni Slices (2 per Popper)
2 cups Marinara..your fave!
1 cups Shredded Mozzarella
Olive Oil for drizzling
Oregano for sprinkling
A 13×9 pan
Directions:
Unroll the Dough and lay it out on a board. Cut a square approx. 2-3″ as you go.
CAREFULLY and with common sense prepare your Jalapenos by slicing them and removing all the seeds and veins. Then wash your hands, and still don’t touch anything..lol!
Place 2 Pepperoni slices down into the Pepper and top it with half of a Cheese Stick. Wrap the Pepper with the Dough square, making sure to leave the stem end exposed (it’s just prettier that way..lol)
Pour the Marinara into the pan, covering the bottom with a generous layer.
Place the wrapped Poppers into the Marinara and drizzle them with some Olive Oil, the Shredded Cheese and some Oregano…
Bake them at 350 (uncovered) for aprox. one hour or until they’re golden and bubbly. The smell is amazing, should be a candle..LOL! ~Let them cool, they sure do hold the heat!
Serve up those sassy little Pizzas and make almost everyone happy! ~Enjoy! 🙂
You are a GENIUS!!! Has anyone ever told you that…?
Meant to elaborate earlier but didn’t have a chance to… I know jalapeños can be wonderful, but I am big baby when it comes to spice and heat. I might try these with sweet peppers and see how they come out! I have made sweet pepper poppers and they are delicious, so I would imagine this might be good to. If I do, I will let you know how they turned out!
I made them with sweet red peppers – amazing! I quartered a half of a large red peeper, put the cheese on top of it (don’t like pepperoni), then wrapped it in the dough. Also made them once with mini peppers – just hulled the top off (they hardly had any seeds), and stuffed it with the cheese and added pepperoni to some of them. Really good.
Excelente manera de combinarlo todo…, eres grande!
Cubanelle peppers would be good too
I pinned these, and they are my “must make” list. I am not a spicy food fan either but I have had stuffed jalapeno’s and they aren’t as hot as you’d think because of all of the added cheese so I know I would LOVE these. What a great idea…I usually don’t leave a lot of comments on recipes and such but I just HAD to tell you how amazing I think this recipe is and haven’t even made it yet. I can just tell it will be as tasty as it looks 🙂
Can i prepare these ahead of time nd keep it in the fridge nd bake it just before the party? If yes for long can i keep it unbaked?..thanks . I luv the idea!!!
Yes..maybe the night before, so they don’t get mushy. 🙂
I have made these before and i loved them but was wondering if you could use home made pizza dough?
