Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef (450 g)
- 8 oz dairy-free cream cheese, softened (225 g)
- 1 cup dairy-free shredded cheddar cheese (100 g)
- 1/2 cup gluten-free crushed cornflakes (60 g)
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions (25 g)
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/2 tsp ground black pepper (1 g)
- 1/2 tsp paprika (1 g)
- 1/4 tsp salt (1.5 g)
- 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (0.5 g)
- 1 egg, beaten
- Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, combine ground venison, chopped green onions, minced garlic, black pepper, paprika, salt, and cayenne pepper.
- Mix the ingredients thoroughly until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, blend the softened cream cheese and shredded cheddar cheese until smooth.
- Take a small portion of the venison mixture and flatten it in your palm.
- Place about a teaspoon of the cheese mixture in the center of the venison.
- Carefully wrap the venison around the cheese, forming a ball to enclose the cheese completely.
- Repeat the process with the remaining mixture to make more poppers.
- Dip each popper into the beaten egg, ensuring it is fully coated.
- Roll the coated popper in the crushed cornflakes until completely covered.
- Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
- Fry the poppers in batches until they are golden brown on all sides, about 3-4 minutes.
- Transfer the fried poppers to a baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes to ensure they are cooked through.
- Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
- Serve warm and enjoy your Shatter Crunch Venison Poppers with Gooey Cheese Core.
Notes
- Fully encase the cheese within the venison mixture to prevent any melting during frying.
- Avoid overcooking the poppers in the oven to maintain a gooey and flavorful cheese core.
- Enhance the taste by mixing chopped jalapenos or bacon bits into the cheese filling before stuffing the poppers.
