Pork Roll and Cheese Stuffed Jalapenos

We're pretty fond of Pork Roll here in Philadelphia, have you tried it? It's a pork product (imagine that), a little spicy, a little tangy, a tad salty, and would probably be classified as sliced firm sausage. And it's just great when you brown it up real good-yea, border line burnt! Since I knew I'd be baking these and for the sake of pictures... I didn't brown the meat as much as I would for breakfast but they are very tasty!
Some folks like mustard, some ketchup and some both. I say it's all good:@)
If you can find a "tangy" Pork Roll I do suggest trying it, that's my favorite!

Pork Roll and Cheese Stuffed Jalapenos
No real measurements here folks, about half meat/half cheese:
Jalapenos, sliced in half and cleaned
Pork Roll, lightly browned in a skillet, diced to about 1/4"
American cheese, diced to about 1/4"-get yourself some good stuff sliced from the deli
Panko breadcrumbs for topping, just a light sprinkling
Ketchup and mustard for dipping
  1. Stuff the peppers, sprinkle with Panko and bake at 375 for 18 minutes.
  2. Remove from oven and turn broiler on, when hot place under broiler until the cheese browns up.
  3. Let cool a bit to firm the cheese back up and serve.
Have a happy day:@)
