ingredients

2 lbs ground beef (lean)
4 ounces jalapenos (depending on spice desired) or 8 ounces green chilies (depending on spice desired)
4 ounces dill pickles (3 wedges)
5 ounces bell peppers (1 medium sized)
1 teaspoon granulated garlic
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon tex mex seasoning
¹⁄₂ teaspoon salt
¹⁄₂ teaspoon black pepper
¹⁄₄ teaspoon ground cumin
1 cup flour
¹⁄₄ cup cornmeal

directions

Pre heat Deep fryer to 375 degrees. Put the mixed flour and cornmeal (dry) into a meatloaf pan. In a small food processor, blend Jalapeno, pickle wedges and bell pepper until they resemble relish. Mix all together thoroughly in a large bowl.
Roll mixture into 1oz balls and roll balls in dry flour/cornmeal mix until completely coated. Put in fry basket (sides NOT touching), deep fry for 5 minutes.
The dry coating keeps the juices sealed inside and makes these meatballs a delightful snack or appetizer.
