Some dishes and combinations are an acquired taste, while some others become an instant favorite from the very first time. And for me, these cheesy jalapeño poppers fell into the latter category. I knew I loved them from the very first time I tried them.So even though I have made small tweaks to the recipe since then, mostly to boost the flavors a bit, I stuck with all the same elements to make the poppers....

I served the meatballs on their own with a whole bunch of cut up veggies and ranch dip. (We are super fancy like that.) However, my oldest was quick to point out that these meatballs would make the world’s greatest burger if I served them in a bun.
